Isaia 40:28 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 40:28

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard?
&c.] From the history of the church in all ages; from the experience of all good men; from their own knowledge and observation; from the Scriptures, and the prophets, the interpreters of them; both that what is before suggested is wrong, and that what follows is true, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the
earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?
or, "the God of the world"; that has made it, and upholds it, and governs it, and judges righteously in it; who is from everlasting to everlasting, unchangeably the same; whose name alone is Jehovah, the self-existent and all comprehending Being, the Maker and Former of all things; who has not only created the earth, and the foundations of it, as the Targum, or the continent, and the habitable part of the world, that is most known and dwelt in, but even the extremities of the earth; and therefore knows and will take care of his own people, let them be where they will: and though the work of creation, and of upholding creatures in their beings, and of governing the world, and providing for all in it, and of taking care of his church and people in particular, requires so much power, as well as wisdom, yet he never sinks under it, nor is weary of it; wherefore they have no reason to give way to such unbelief and despondency, as above expressed: there is no searching of his understanding;
it is infinite, it reaches to all persons and things, and therefore he cannot be at a loss to provide for his people, or plead their cause; nor can their case be unknown to him, or he want either power or skill to help them.

Isaia 40:28 In-Context

26 Levate ad alto gli occhi vostri, e vedete; chi ha create quelle cose? chi fa uscire l’esercito loro a conto? chi le chiama tutte per nome, per la grandezza della sua forza, e, perciocchè egli è potente in virtù, senza che ne manchi pure una?

27 Perchè diresti, o Giacobbe; e perchè, o Israele, parleresti così: La mia via è occulta al Signore, e la mia ragione non viene più davanti all’Iddio mio?

28 Non sai tu, non hai tu udito? Il Signore è l’Iddio eterno, che ha create le estremità della terra; egli non si stanca, e non si affatica; il suo intendimento è infinito.

29 Egli dà forza allo stanco, ed accresce vigore a chi è senza forze.

30 I giovani si stancano, e si affaticano; e i più scelti giovani traboccano, e cadono.
