Isaiah 44:4 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.

They - thy "seed" and "offspring;" literally, thy offshoots (Isaiah 44:3).

Shall spring up (as) among the grass - as needlessly is inserted in the English version. Rather, 'they shall spring up among the grass (i:e., luxuriantly; because what grows in the midst of grass grows luxuriantly); as willows by the water-courses,' which makes the parallel clauses balanced (Maurer).

Isaiah 44:4

4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
