“They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.”
The continued vision—'They shall not hunger or thirst, neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them down; for he who has pity on them will lead them, and by springs of water will guide them'—promises complete protection and provision in the return journey. The negation of hunger, thirst, and harsh climate addresses the concrete needs of wilderness travel. The image of God as shepherd guiding to water recalls earlier pastoral promises. This verse assures that the journey home will be sustained by divine care.
