This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Though thou dost not know me, yet I thoroughly know thee, and all thy designs and actions, all thy secret and subtle contrivances in the place of
thy abode, in thy own kingdom and court, and the execution of thy designs abroad, what thou intendest in thy going out, and with what successes or former thoughts thou comest in, or returnest to thy own land. For the phrase, compare Deu_31:2 Psa_139:2,3.
And thy rage against me, i.e. against my servant Hezekiah, and my people, against whom he was engaged, because they would not deliver up Jerusalem to him, which he demanded. Things are frequently said to be done against God, which are only done against his people, because of that near union and relation which is between them. See Zec_2:8 Act_9:4,5. But the words may well be rendered, and thy rage is with me, or before me, as the Syriac hath it; or, is manifest to me, as the Chaldee renders it. And so this branch of the verse answers to the former, I know, &c., and it is before me.
