(28) Israel then shall dwell in safety--i.e., in confidence and security. "In His days (the days of Messiah) Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely" (Jeremiah 23:6), but not until they learn to rest upon "the everlasting arms."

Verse 28. - The clauses of this verse are parallel to each other; their symmetry will be seen if we render and arrange thus -

"And Israel dwelleth securely,
Alone, the fountain of Jacob,
On a land of corn and new wine;
His heavens also drop down dew."
The fountain of Jacob is parallel to Israel. Israel is so designated because they came forth from Jacob as waters from a copious source (Ibn Ezra; cf. Isaiah 48:1; Psalm 68:26).
