Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened, and bud forth a saviour: and let justice spring up together: I the Lord have created him.
George Leo Haydock
Saviour. Thus the ancient saints thirsted for the coming of Christ. His figure is styled the just, chap. xli. 2, 25. — Him. Christ, born of the virgin, in time, and of God from all eternity. I have appointed Cyrus to be his precursor, to set the captives free. (Calmet) — He has been spoken of before. But now the prophet turns to Christ alone, who built his Church on a rock. (Worthington) — Cyrus had not a right faith in God, and Zorobabel was himself set free, and was not king. (St. Jerome)
