Chapter
XVIII.—Isaiah I.
3 Explained.
“From the circumstance that Isaiah said, in
the person of God,1396
‘But
Israel hath not known me, and the people hath not understood me,’
it is not to be inferred that Isaiah indicated another God besides Him
who is known;1397
| 1397
Cotelerius’ms. inserts “the
Creator” (Demiurge). | but he meant
that the known God was in another sense unknown, because the people
sinned, being ignorant of the just character of the known God, and
imagined that they would not be punished by the good God.
Wherefore, after he said, ‘But Israel hath not known me, and the
people hath not understood me,’ he adds, ‘Alas! a sinful
nation, a people laden with sins.’ For, not being afraid,
in consequence of their ignorance of His justice, as I said, they
became laden with sins, supposing that He was merely good, and would
not therefore punish them for their sins.
