Commentary on Proverbs 25:26
As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. The Hebrew 'mayim qar' (cold water) and 'shemuw`ah towb' (good news/report) creates beautiful imagery. Cold water to the thirsty brings intense refreshment and relief. Similarly, good news from distant loved ones refreshes the soul. This verse celebrates communication's power to comfort and encourage. In ancient world without rapid communication, news from distant family/friends was precious. Letters refreshed recipients profoundly.
