Commentary on Isaiah 64:12

Theological / Devotional

Wilt thou refrain? The prophet was saying in effect, “Art Thou not interested in this, Thy Temple, and in us, Thy people? Do none of these things move Thee? Shall our enemies and Thy enemies prevail? Is righteousness to perish and iniquity to triumph? Is this to be a victory for the forces of evil and a defeat for the cause of God?”
