This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
parched ground - rather, “the mirage (Hebrew, Sharab, ‘the sun’s heat’) shall become a (real) lake.” The sun’s rays refracted on the glowing sands at midday give the appearance of a lake of water and often deceive the thirsty traveler (compare Jer 2:13; Isa 41:18).
dragons - rather, “jackals.”
each - namely, jackal.
grass - rather, “a dwelling or receptacle (answering to the previous habitation) for reeds,” etc. (which only grow where there is water, Job 8:11). Where once there was no water, water shall abound.
