Context of Isaiah 49:10

8Thus says the Lord, “In a favorable time I have answered You, And in a day of salvation I have helped You; And I will keep You and give You for a covenant of the people, To restore the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages; 9Saying to those who are bound, ‘Go forth,’ To those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’ Along the roads they will feed, And their pasture will be on all bare heights. They will not hunger or thirst, Nor will the scorching heat or sun strike them down; For He who has compassion on them will lead them And will guide them to springs of water. 11I will make all My mountains a road, And My highways will be raised up. 12Behold, these will come from afar; And lo, these will come from the north and from the west, And these 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.
