Isaiah 21:14 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Tema; a part of Arabia; of which see Job 6:19 Jeremiah 25:23. They prevented with their bread him that fled; whereby he implies that those other Arabians, against whom this prophecy is principally directed, should be reduced to great scarcity of all necessary provisions, and forced to flee for their lives from a bloody enemy, as is more fully expressed in the next verse.

Isaiah 21:14

14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema broughtd water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.
