Isaías 64:12 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 64:12

Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O Lord?
&c.] From delivering us out of our troubles and miseries, and taking vengeance on our enemies, and showing thy zeal for thine own glory; or, as Kimchi paraphrases it,

``how canst thou contain thyself for these things, and not have mercy?''

how canst thou bear to see Judea, and all its cities, a wilderness; Jerusalem, and the temple of it, in ruins? wilt thou hold thy peace?
or, "be silent"; and not plead thine own cause, and the cause of thy people? and afflict us very sore?
exceedingly, even to extremity; or for ever, as the Targum, thinking it long, as well as heavy. Jerom observes, that the Jews say these words in their synagogues every day; which show that they look upon this prophecy to respect their present case.

Isaías 64:12 In-Context

10 As tuas cidades sagradas transformaram-se em deserto.Até Sião virou um deserto, e Jerusalém, uma desolação!

11 O nosso templo santo e glorioso, onde os nossos antepassados te louvavam,foi destruído pelo fogo,e tudo o que nos era precioso está em ruínas.

12 E depois disso tudo, SENHOR, ainda irás te conter?Ficarás calado e nos castigarás além da conta?
