And that which was dry land, shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water. In the dens where dragons dwell before, shall rise up the verdure of the reed and the bulrush.
Rashi
And the dry place shall become a pool He who longs for salvation shall be saved. The prophet spoke figuratively. in the habitat of jackals, a resting place, etc. A place that was a desert wasteland, which is the habitat, the resting place of jackals, shall become moist, a place of grass, made for reeds and rushes, and it is not customary for reeds and rushes to grow except in a watery place, as the matter is stated (Job 8:11): “Can the rush shoot upwards without mire?” a resting place (רִבְצָה) This is a noun like מַרְבֵּץ, since it has no ‘mappiq hey.’
