Isaiah 12:3 Therefore with joy shall you draw water out of the wells of salvation. Drawing water is an employment which requires strength, labour, and diligence, to which some means or instruments of conveyance are indispensably requisite. From these and other circumstances attending this operation we learn the import of the spiritual exercise here intended. The blessings communicated by the Holy Ghost are obtained by diligent application of the mind to prayer, attentive reading, hearing, and meditation; and by rightly disposing and digesting the subjects read, heard, and contemplated, so as believingly to apply them for the great purposes of spiritual improvement. (R. Macculloch.) Parallel Verses KJV: Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.WEB: Therefore with joy you will draw water out of the wells of salvation. |
