This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Isa_63:11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, [and] his people, [saying], Where [is] he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where [is] he that put his holy Spirit within him?

Ver. 11. Then he remembered,] i.e., Israel remembered the days of old; Heb., Of antiquity, the days of yore, as some old translations have it. See Psa_89:50, &c.



Saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea?
] q.d., How is it that he is not now to be found, as then he was for the succour of his poor people? They had "vexed his Holy Spirit," and therefore he withdrew himself. See Hos_5:6.



With the shepherd of his flock.
] Or, Shepherds - as some ancient copies had it - viz., Moses and Aaron. {Psa_77:20}



Where is he that put his Holy Spirit within him?] But this Holy Spirit they had vexed, {Isa_63:10} and now they sorrowfully inquire after. Delicata res est Spiritus Sanctus; ita nos tractat, sicut tractatur, saith a father - i.e., The Spirit of God is a delicate thing; he deals with us, as we deal by him.
