Isaiah 37:26
_ _ Reply of God to Sennacherib.
_ _ long ago — join, rather, with “I have done it.” Thou dost boast that it is all by thy counsel and might: but it is I who, long ago, have ordered it so (Isaiah 22:11); thou wert but the instrument in My hands (Isaiah 10:5, Isaiah 10:15). This was the reason why “the inhabitants were of small power before thee” (Isaiah 37:27), namely, that I ordered it so; yet thou art in My hands, and I know thy ways (Isaiah 37:28), and I will check thee (Isaiah 37:29). Connect also, “I from ancient times have arranged (‘formed’) it.” However, English Version is supported by Isaiah 33:13; Isaiah 45:6, Isaiah 45:21; Isaiah 48:5. |

Hast thou not heard long ago, [how] I have done it; [and] of ancient times, (r) that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.
(r) Signifying that God did not make his Church to destroy it, but to preserve it: and therefore he says that he formed it of old, even in his eternal counsel which cannot be changed. |
