Lamentations 4:9

Study

       

9 They that are slain with the sword are better than they that are slain with hunger; For these pine away, stricken through, for want of the fruits of the field.

Commentary

 

Suck

  

'To suck the treasures hidden in the sand' in Deuteronomy 33:19 signifies the spiritual things that lie concealed in the literal sense of the Word.

To 'suck,' as in Isaiah 66:11, signifies influx from the Lord.
