Isa 35:1-10. CONTINUATION OF THE PROPHECY IN THE THIRTY-FOURTH CHAPTER.

      See on Isa 34:1, introduction there.

      1. solitary place--literally, "a dry place," without springs of water. A moral wilderness is meant.
      for them--namely, on account of the punishment inflicted according to the preceding prophecy on the enemy; probably the blessings set forth in this chapter are included in the causes for joy (Isa 55:12).
      rose--rather, "the meadow-saffron," an autumnal flower with bulbous roots; so Syriac translation.
