Isaiah 22:21
Douay-Rheims
And I will clothe him with thy robe, and will strengthen him with thy girdle, and will give thy power into his hand: and he shall be as a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Juda.
Ibn Ezra
Thy robe and thy girdle. Every officer has a certain robe and girdle, as e.g., the wise men of Athens wore a certain distinctive girdle. A father. A good teacher and a friend, like a father.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
