Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 40:28

28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the creator of the ends of the earth fainteth not, neither is weary ? there is no searching of his understanding .

Of all the Earth and the inhabitants thereof, from one end to another. He seems to mention the ends or utmost bounds, because they must seem to be more out of the reach and care of Gods providence, as being most remote from Ierusalem, the only place of Gods solemn and publick Worship in the World, and being then thought to [illegible: 1+ letters]inhabited. The argument is clear and strong: God who made all, even the most desolate and barbarous parts of the Earth, and consequently takes care of them, will not neglect his own Land and People.

He is not by age or hard labour become weak and unable to help his People, as men are apt to be.

His Counsels by which he governeth all the World, and in a most particular manner thine affaires are far above the reach of thy understanding: and therefore thou dost ignorantly and foolishly in passing so rash a censure upon the Wayes and Works of the infinitely Wise God.
