Job 36:16

16. Rather, "He will lead forth thee also out of the jaws of a strait" (Ps 18:19; 118:5).

broad place—expresses the liberty, and the well-supplied "table" the abundance of the prosperous (Ps 23:5; Isa 25:6).

Isaiah 55:2

2. not bread— (Hab 2:13). "Bread of deceit" (Pr 20:17). Contrast this with the "bread of life" (Joh 6:32, 35; also Lu 14:16-20).

satisfieth not— (Ec 1:8; 4:8).

hearken . . . and eat—When two imperatives are joined, the second expresses the consequence of obeying the command in the first (Ge 42:18). By hearkening ye shall eat. So in Isa 55:1, "buy and eat." By buying, and so making it your own, ye shall eat, that is, experimentally enjoy it (Joh 6:53). Compare the invitation (Pr 9:5, 6; Mt 22:4).

fatness— (Ps 36:8; 63:5).

Jeremiah 31:14

14. my goodness— (Jer 31:12).
