Isa 35:1-10. Continuation of the prophecy in the thirty-fourth chapter.
See on Isa 34:1, introduction there.
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.
