Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 60:16

16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings, and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy saviour and thy redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob .

A Metaphor taken from Children sucking nourishment from the breast, the sense is that the Church should draw, or drain the wealth of Nations, and the riches, and power of Kings, and what ever is most excellent, and that it should come freely, and affectionately, as milk flows from the breast of the Mother; the same thing intended, Chap. 49. 23. and in the foregoing verses.

i. e. Experience it; knowing is often put for an experimental knowing.

Styled so either with reference to Iacob's Person, he being the first that gave God this title, Gen. 49. 24. or with reference to Iacobs posterity, viz. the Jews. These things will certainly be accomplished, for he is the mighty God, and so able, and the God of Iacob, so obliged by Covenant, and Relation.
