Commentary on Isaiah 63:10

Theological / Devotional

But they rebelled. The faithlessness of Israel is placed in striking contrast with the loving-kindness and faithfulness of God (see Ps. 106).

Vexed his holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was known and was active in OT times as well as in NT times. Paul admonished the church to “grieve not the holy Spirit” (Eph. 4:30). In the days of Noah, God had said that His Spirit would “not always strive with man” (Gen. 6:3). The murmurings and complaints of Israel in the wilderness were directed not so much against Moses as against God (Ex. 16:8, 9).

Their enemy. That is, He appeared to be their enemy. Actually the judgments that befell the people had a merciful design. God was seeking the ultimate salvation of the individual.
