He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
He shall dwell on high - heights inaccessible to the foe (Isaiah 26:1).
Bread shall be given him, his waters shall be sure - image from the expected siege by Sennacherib. Bread shall be given him, his waters shall be sure - image from the expected siege by Sennacherib. However besieged by trials without, the godly shall have literal and spiritual food, as God sees good for them (Isaiah 41:17; Psalms 37:19; Psalms 37:25; Psalms 34:10; Psalms 132:15). So Jeremiah in the siege of Jerusalem was provided with "a piece of bread daily," though in prison (Jeremiah 37:21).
