Isaiah 41:17
Douay-Rheims
The needy and the poor seek for waters, and there are none: their tongue hath been dry with thirst. I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
Ibn Ezra
The poor, etc. In their return from Babylon to Jerusalem. נשתה Faileth. Comp. ונשתו and shall fail (19:5). The God of Israel, I (אני) of the preceding, refers to this sentence also, and is to be supplied before the God, as is often the case.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
