Isaiah 43:2
Douay-Rheims
When thou shalt pass through the waters, I will be with thee, and the rivers shall not cover thee: when thou shalt walk in the fire, thou shalt not be burnt, and the flames shall not burn in thee:
Ibn Ezra
When thou passest through the waters, etc. The peoples are in Scripture compared with rivers and also with fire; comp. A fire is gone out of Heshbon (Num. 21:28). By the waters and the fire the armies of Persia and Media are meant, that were to conquer Babylon.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
