9以赛亚十二章所用的“泉”字,在原文不是单数的,乃是复数的。三节说,“所以你们必从救恩之泉欢然取水。”“救恩之泉”这辞含示救恩乃是源头。救恩之泉的源头是源,而那源就是救恩。源头、源和救恩,都是同义辞。在十二章,谁是源头、源、救恩?二节说,“神是我的拯救;我要信靠祂,并不惧怕;因为主耶和华是我的力量,是我的诗歌,祂也成了我的拯救。”(以赛亚书生命读经,三四九至三五○页)
9Isaiah 12 does not use the word spring in the singular but the word springs in plural. Verse 3 says, “Therefore you will draw water with rejoicing / From the springs of salvation.” The term the springs of salvation implies that salvation is the source. The source of the springs of salvation is a fountain, and that fountain is salvation. The source, the fountain, and salvation are synonyms. Who is the source, the fountain, the salvation, in Isaiah 12? Verse 2 says, “God is now my salvation; / I will trust and not dread; / For Jah Jehovah is my strength and song, / And He has become my salvation.” (Life-study of Isaiah, p. 277)
