Isaiah 64:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, viz. that are done by the Babylonians? do none of these things move thee to take vengeance on them? Wilt thou hold thy peace; wilt thou be as one that regards not? Wilt thou be still, and suffer them? And afflict us very sore: see Isaiah 64:9: for these our sins, or for these our sufferings; shall we feel the smart of it, that have done no such things, but have been sufferers under the Babylonians? to which God answers in the next chapter.

Isaiah 64:12
