Proverbs 25:25 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country “Good and certain news, especially from a far country, (from whence it is hard to have any true intelligence,) is as grateful to him that longed to hear of his friends there, as cool water is to a thirsty traveller; especially when he meets with it in remote and uninhabited places, where he did not expect it.” Bishop Patrick.
