Isaiah 12

Isaiah 12:1

Thanks. Literally, “confess.” The Jews thank God for their return, as the Church does for her deliverance from sin. (Worthington) — Canticles were composed on such occasions, Exodus xv. — Angry. They do not thank God on this account; but because he had averted his indignation. (Calmet)

Isaiah 12:3

Fountains. Instead of those which your fathers drank in the desert. (Calmet) — You shall have the holy Scriptures, (Haydock) sacraments, &c., John iv. 13., and vii. 38.

Isaiah 12:6

Of thee. He alludes to the name Emmanuel. Christ preached, and his own would not receive him, John i. 11., and 26. (Calmet) — He continues with us, concealed under the sacramental species [of the Eucharist]. (Menochius)

Isaiah 12:16
