This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_60:8 Who [are] these [that] fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
Ver. 8. Who are these that fly as a cloud?] Which flieth more swiftly than any bird, and covereth the sky far and near. Deus bone, quam multi catervatim accurrunt! saith the Church here; wonderful! what trooping and treading upon the heels one of another is here! {a}
And as the doves to their windows.] To their columbaries, whereinto they scour and rush gregatim, et mira pernicitate, especially if they have young ones there, or else are driven by some hawk or tempest. {b} God’s people are free hearted; {Psa_110:3} they serve the Lord with cheerfulness. {Psa_100:2} Amor enim alas addit: and well might Plato descant upon the word, Oí èíçôïé ìåí Eñùôá, Aèáíáôïé äå ðåñùôá êáëïõóé , whom men call love, the immortal call winged.
{a} Confertis agminibus.
{b} "Columba Radit iter liquidum, celeres neque commovet auras."
