Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 59:2

2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God; and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear .

Have been as a thick wall between God and you, have set him at a great distance, Prov. 15. 29.

This may be put Synechdochically for the whole Person, and the Prophet speaking of God by an Anthropopathy may understand his presence and then it is, hath made him hide, or withdraw his presence as one that turns away his face from some noisom thing▪ or rather his favour, that though you cry to be delivered out of Babylon, yet you shall not find that favour.

i. e. He will not grant it, thus it is used, Psal. 45. 12. Hos. 5. 15. see on chap. 1. 15. see Iudg. 10. 13.

Marginal references: Or, have made him hide.
