Study Note
The promise 'the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not' describes the spiritual abundance that follows genuine covenant justice and true fasting. Isaiah 58 is a sustained critique of ritual fasting divorced from justice-practice: the fast God chooses is loosing bonds of wickedness and sharing bread with the hungry (vv. 6-7). The 'watered garden' (gan raveh) contrasts directly with verse 10's promise that light will rise 'in obscurity' — those who nourish others are themselves nourished by God. John 4:14 (the woman at Sychar's well) and 7:38 ('rivers of living water') draw on the same image — the one who receives the Spirit becomes an inexhaustible source for others — fulfilling the Isaianic promise in pneumatological terms.
