Isaiah 40:1 Comfort you, comfort you my people, said your God. At the close of the prophecy, the prophet tells us what the strength and abundance of that comfort is. Earth's best picture of strong consolation is that of the mother bending over the couch of her suffering and sorrowing child (Isaiah 66:13). (J. R. Macduff, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. |
