Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
bought—for "sweet cane" (aromatic calamus) was not indigenous to Palestine, but had to be bought from foreign countries (Jeremiah 6:20). It was used among the Hebrews to make the sacred ointment (Exodus 30:23). It is often offered as a mark of hospitality.
filled—satiated (Jeremiah 31:14). God deigns to use human language to adapt Himself to human modes of thought.
made me to serve—though "I have not caused thee to serve" (Isaiah 43:23). Our sin made the Son of God to become "a servant." He served to save us from servile bondage (Philippians 2:7; Hebrews 2:14-15).
wearied me—Though I have "not wearied thee" (Isaiah 43:23; see Isaiah 1:14).
