Isaiah 40:27 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

Why sayest thou, O Jacob ... My way is hid from the Lord? - Since these things are so, thou hast no reason to think that thine interests ("way" - i:e., condition, Psalms 37:5; Jeremiah 12:1) are disregarded by God.

My judgment is passed over from my God - rather, my cause is neglected by my God. He passes by any case, in my bondage and distress, without noticing it, and without doing me justice.

My God - who especially might be expected to care for me.

Isaiah 40:27

27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
