Isaiah40:27

27 Why sayst thou , O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God ?

In thy heart, why dost thou give way to such jealousies concerning thy God, of whose infinite Power and Wisdom, and Goodness, there are such evident demonstrations given to all mankind, and to thee in a singular manner?

The course and condition of my Life. He takes no notice of my Prayers and Tears, and Sufferings for his Name, but suffers my Enemies to abuse me at their pleasure, and doth not attempt to rescue me out of their hands. This complaint is uttered in the name of the People being prophetically supposed to be in Captivity.

Either 1. My Punishment: Or, rather 2. My Cause, as this word is most commonly used. God hath neglected to plead my Cause, and to give Judgment for me against mine enemies, as he hath formerly done.

God hath dismissed it, and left it and me in the hands of mine Enemies, and now our case is so desperate that God cannot help us: for which reason they compared themselves to dry Bones lying in the Grave, Ezek. 37.
