Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 57:11

_ _ Israel wished not to seem altogether to have denied God. Therefore they “lied” to Him. God asks, Why dost thou do so? “Whom dost thou fear? Certainly not Me; for thou hast not remembered Me.” Translate, “seeing that thou hast not remembered Me.”

_ _ laid it to ... heart — rather, “nor hast Me at heart”; hast no regard for Me; and that, because I have been long silent and have not punished thee. Literally, “Have I not held My peace, and that for long? and so thou fearest Me not” (Psalms 50:21; Ecclesiastes 8:11). It would be better openly to renounce God, than to “flatter Him” with lies of false professions (Psalms 78:36) [Ludovicus De Dieu]. However, Isaiah 51:12, Isaiah 51:13 favors English Version of the whole verse; God’s “silent” long-suffering, which was intended to lead them to repentance, caused them “not to fear Him” (Romans 2:4, Romans 2:5).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 57:3-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 57:11

Feared — And who are they, the fear of whom drives thee to these wicked courses? Lied — That thou hast dealt thus perfidiously with me. Not remembered — Hast thou forgotten all those great things which I have done for thee. Held my peace — Have not I forbore to punish thee from time to time, that by this goodness I might oblige thee to love me. And thou — Or, therefore thou dost not fear or regard me. Thou abusest my long — suffering.
