Matthew 5:6

Verse 6. Hunger and thirst; that is spiritually, with an earnest desire of being just and holy. But others again understand such as endure with patience the hardships of hunger and thirst. Witham.—Rupertus understands those to whom justice is denied, such as poor widows and orphans. Maldonatus those who from poverty really suffer hunger and thirst, because justice is not done them. Menochius.—They shall be filled with every kind of good in their heavenly country. I shall be filled when thy glory shall appear. Psalm 16.
