Isaiah 65:2 — KJV

Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 65:2

Theological / Devotional

Spread out my hands. In entreaty and expostulation, or possibly in invitation.

Rebellious. From the Heb. sarar, “to be stubborn,” “to be rebellious.” Sarar is used to describe the attitude of the princes in ch. 1:23 and again in Hosea 9:15 (there translated “revolters”).

Thoughts. Heb. machasheboth, which may also be translated “devices,” as in Job 5:12; Ps. 33:10; Prov. 19:21; Jer. 11:19; etc. The evils of the world have resulted from men placing their own ideas before the plans and purposes of God.
