Commentary on Isaiah 64:9

Theological / Devotional

Be not wroth. The penitent in his pitiful cry for mercy humbly acknowledges his transgression and the right of the Lord to punish, but he pleads that God’s punishment may not last too long and that it may not be too severe (see Ps. 79:8 ; 103:8-10).
