Commentary on Isaiah 59:10

Theological / Devotional

We grope. Verses 10-15 present a striking description of the results of transgression. When men refuse to walk in the way of right and justice God permits blindness to come upon them (Isa. 6:10; cf. Rom. 11:25). He allows them to walk in pathways of their own devising, pathways that inevitably lead into distress and perplexity. Men find themselves shut in, as it were, by walls of trouble. Blindly and in vain they grope about, seeking a way of escape. This was the very outcome Moses had foretold. (Deut. 28:20, 29).
