Context of Isaiah 49:10

8This is what the Lord says: I will answer you in a time of favor, and I will help you in the day of salvation. I will keep you, and I will appoint you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land, to make them possess the desolate inheritances, 9saying to the prisoners, “Come out,” and to those who are in darkness, “Show yourselves.” They will feed along the pathways, and their pastures will be on all the barren heights. They will not hunger or thirst, the scorching heat or sun will not strike them; for their compassionate one will guide them, and lead them to springs. 11I will make all my mountains into a road, and my highways will be raised up. 12See, these will come from far away, from the north and from the west, and from the land of Sinim.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10They shall not hunger nor thirst - All their needs shall be abundantly provided for, as a shepherd will provide for his flock.

It means that the Messiah as a shepherd shall abundantly satisfy all the needs of his people; and it may with as much propriety be applied…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-12Verses 7-12 The Father is the Lord, the Redeemer, and Holy One of Israel, as sending the Son to be the Redeemer.
