Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
The same argument for prayer, drawn from God's omnipotence and consequent power, to grant any request, occurs in Isa 40:26-31.
I, even my hands--so Hebrew (Psa 41:2), "Thou . . . thy hand" (both nominatives, in apposition). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
I have made the earth - God here asserts that he had made all things, doubtless with a view to show that he was able to hear their cry, and to grant an answer to their requests. His agency was visible everywhere, alike in forming and sustaining all things, and in raising up for them a deliverer. They might, therefore, go before him with confidence, and spread out all their needs.
Have stretched out the heavens - (See the notes at Isa 40:26).
And all their host - The stars (see the notes at Isa 40:26).
Have I commanded - All are under my direction and control. What more can be needed by his people than the friendship and protection of him who made the heavens and the earth, and who leads on the stars! |

27 Why sayest [0559] thou, O Jacob [03290], and speakest [01696], O Israel [03478], My way [01870] is hid [05641] from the LORD [03068], and my judgment [04941] is passed over [05674] from my God [0430]?
28 Hast thou not known [03045]? hast thou not heard [08085], that the everlasting [05769] God [0430], the LORD [03068], the Creator [01254] of the ends [07098] of the earth [0776], fainteth [03286] not, neither is weary [03021]? there is no searching [02714] of his understanding [08394].

30 Even the youths [05288] shall faint [03286] and be weary [03021], and the young men [0970] shall utterly [03782] fall [03782]:
