John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 59:12

Transgressions — The word here signifies sins of an high nature, such as wherein there is much of man's will against light: rebellious sins. Multiplied — They admit of no excuse; for they are acted before thee, and multiplied against thee, whereby thou art justly provoked to deny us all help. Testify — As so many witnesses produced proves our guilt. Are with us — Are still unforgiven. We know — We are convinced of them.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 59:12

For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our (k) sins testify against us: for our transgressions [are] with us; and [as for] our iniquities, we know them;

(k) This confession is general to the Church to obtain remission of sins, and the prophets did not exempt themselves from the same.
