 | From the Geneva Notes.
 | "Though Abraham would
refuse us to be his children, yet you will not refuse to be our father." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "The Lord will hear the
prayers of those who belong to him, and deliver them from those not
called by his name." |
|
| From Wesley's
Notes.
| "A little while
- Comparatively to the promise, which was for ever." |
|
| From the Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "Isaac is not
mentioned, because not all his posterity was admitted to the
covenant, whereas all Jacob's was; Abraham is specified because he was
the first father of the Jewish race." |

| "Exposition of Isaiah
63-64," Charles H. Spurgeon, 1892.
| "We are now become (for
this is the true rendering of the passage) like those over whom thou
hast never borne rule, those who were never called by thy name."
That is a sad condition for the church of God to be in; and I am afraid
that it is getting into that condition now, sinking to a level with the
world, leaving its high calling, quitting the path of the separated
people, and becoming just like those whom God never knew, and who were
never called by his name. It is a pitiful case; and here comes a prayer
like the bursting out of a volcano, as though the hearts of gracious men
could hold in the agonising cry no longer." |
