Isaiah 37:28

28 habitationem tuam et egressum tuum et introitum tuum cognovi et insaniam tuam contra me

Isaiah 37:28 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 37:28

But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in,
&c.] Where he dwelt, what he did at home, his secret councils, cabals, contrivances, schemes and plans for the compassing of his ends, the subduing of kingdoms, and setting up an universal monarchy; and his going out of Babylon, his marches, and counter marches, and his entrance into the land of Judea; there was not a motion made, or a step taken in the cabinet or camp, but what were known to the Lord; so the Targum,

``thy sitting in council, and thy going out abroad to make war, and thy coming into the land of Israel, are manifest before me:''
and thy rage against me;
against his people, against the city that was called by his name, against the temple where he was worshipped, particularly against his servant Hezekiah, because he would not immediately deliver up the city to him. The Targum and Syriac versions render it, "before me"; and then the meaning is, "thy rage", wrath and fury, "is before me": or manifest to me; and which he could restrain at pleasure, as he promises to do in the next verse.

Isaiah 37:28 In-Context

26 numquid non audisti quae olim fecerim ei ex diebus antiquis ego plasmavi illud et nunc adduxi et factum est in eradicationem collium conpugnantium et civitatum munitarum
27 habitatores earum breviata manu contremuerunt et confusi sunt facti sunt sicut faenum agri et gramen pascuae et herba tectorum quae exaruit antequam maturesceret
28 habitationem tuam et egressum tuum et introitum tuum cognovi et insaniam tuam contra me
29 cum fureres adversum me superbia tua ascendit in aures meas ponam ergo circulum in naribus tuis et frenum in labiis tuis et reducam te in viam per quam venisti
30 tibi autem hoc erit signum comede hoc anno quae sponte nascuntur et in anno secundo pomis vescere in anno autem tertio seminate et metite et plantate vineas et comedite fructum earum
