Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 44:1-5.


Isaiah 44:3

_ _ (Isaiah 41:18).

_ _ him ... thirsty — rather, “the land” (Isaiah 35:6, Isaiah 35:7), figuratively for man thirsting after righteousness (Matthew 5:6).

_ _ floods — the abundant influences of the Holy Spirit, stronger than “water.”

_ _ spirit — including all spiritual and temporal gifts, as the parallel, “blessing,” proves (Isaiah 11:2; Isaiah 32:15).

_ _ seed — (Isaiah 59:21).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 44:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 44:3

Water — Upon him that is destitute of it.

(c) Because man of himself is as the dry and barren land, he promises to moisten him with the waters of his Holy Spirit, (Joel 2:28; John 7:38; Acts 2:17).
