us? |
Isaiah 29:15
_ _ seek deep to hide — rather, “That seek to hide deeply,” etc. (compare Isaiah 30:1, Isaiah 30:2). The reference is to the secret plan which many of the Jewish nobles had of seeking Egyptian aid against Assyria, contrary to the advice of Isaiah. At the same time the hypocrite in general is described, who, under a plausible exterior, tries to hide his real character, not only from men, but even from God. |
Isaiah 29:15
Seek deep — A metaphor from men, who use to dig deep into the earth, that they may hide any thing there. To hide — Vainly imagining, that they can deceive, not only men, but God, by their external professions. Who — Neither God nor man can discover us. |
Isaiah 29:15
Woe to them that (n) seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
(n) This is spoken of them who in heart despised God's word, and mocked at the admonitions but outwardly bore a good face. |
