Isaiah 60:16 - Exposition

Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles (comp. Deuteronomy 33:19 ). As a child at the mother's breast, thou shall obtain kindly nourishment through the means of the Gentiles, who acknowledge thee for their superior, and place all their means at thy disposal ( supra , Isaiah 60:5-11 ). Among these, the most liberal, and the most prompt to render aid, will be their kings (see the comment on Isaiah 60:10 ). Thou shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour. This clause is repeated from Isaiah 49:26 . It is a phrase containing in it a mysterious depth of promise.
