And God promises them the abundance of His grace, and help, and spiritual consolation. For they shall not hunger, nor shall they thirst, he says. For long ago they were in want of spiritual consolation, for there was among them no divine law, no prophet, no guide, no instructor, no teacher, no spring of spiritual waters. But since they have received mercy from God, the supply of spiritual goods has now become most abundant for them, as they have received soul-profiting nourishment. For they ate bread from heaven, they drank living water, about which Christ Himself spoke, addressing the woman in Samaria: \"Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will have in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.\" And the prophet Isaiah also said somewhere concerning those justified by faith, and who submit the neck of their mind to the evangelical decrees: \"He will dwell in a high cave of a strong rock; bread will be given to him, and his water will be sure.\" But neither shall the burning heat strike them, nor the sun. For Christ has become their protector. He who long ago also suspended a cloud for the sons of Israel by day, and led them by a pillar of fire by night. Therefore, they will be outside of the sun and burning heat, he says, that is, they will obtain protection from God, so that no burden befalls them, that is, one that leads to faintheartedness.<br/><i>— Commentary on Isaiah</i></p><p><b>Eusebius of Caesarea</b>: \"The merciful One will encourage them, and he will lead them by springs of water.\" For the springs of Israel and of salvation are plentiful. The springs of Israel are those of the Old Covenant, and the springs of salvation are those of the New.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON Isaiah 2:35</i></p><p><b>Theodoret of Cyrus</b>: He has threatened Israel [with suffering] hunger for the Word and [with] a dearth of clouds: \"I will send,\" he says, \"a famine of hearing the word of the Lord,\" and elsewhere: \"And I will command the clouds to rain no rain upon it.\" Here, on the contrary, he promises those who have believed in him that they would have an abundance of divine nourishment and that they will have sources of salvation at their disposal forever.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON Isaiah 15:49.10</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"15f6ced362428e2e581fbe5d1598d30cfaf3a4d857a8f1b8266adca821cced6a","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":7563,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"f072a2978adf6ab5f823f06c56ac25a656c6fab184f80acc202a6ac494746c55","translator":null,"work":null}
