Jamieson, Fausset and Brown on Isaiah 35:1

CHAPTER 35

Is 35:1-10. Continuation of the Prophecy in the Thirty-fourth Chapter.

See on Is 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 (Is 55:12).

rose--rather, "the meadow-saffron," an autumnal flower with bulbous roots; so Syriac translation.
