Verse 33. Rivers ... Watersprings. A church enriched with the graces of heaven is compared by the prophets to a well watered garden ( Isaiah 63:11 Jeremiah 31:12 ), to the paradise of God, watered with its four fruitful rivers: for as everything useful and ornamental in the vegetable world is raised up by water, so is everything in the spiritual world raised up by the Holy Spirit. --William Romaine.
HINTS FOR PASTORS AND LAYPERSONS
Verse 33-34. The scene which here opens with a landscape of beauty and fertility is suddenly changed into a dry and barren wilderness. The rivers are dried up, the springs cease to flow among the hills, and the verdant fields are scorched and bare. The reason assigned for this is "the wickedness of them that dwell therein." This picture needs no interpretation to the people of God. It is precisely what happens within them when they have fallen into sin. --G.R.
Verse 34. The curse, cause, and cure of barrenness in a church.
