Isa. 64:4a no . . . God besides you. Israel’s God is unique; there is no other god like him (see 43:11; 44:6; 45:5–6; 18; 21–22; 46:9; 47:8; 10).
Isa. 64:5b–7 With four comparisons, Isaiah laments the long-standing patterns of sin among God’s people. for you have hidden your face. See 8:17. When God’s “face” shines upon his people, they live in his favor (Num. 6:25–26); when he hides it due to their unfaithfulness, they suffer.
Isa. 64:8–9 you are our Father. Isaiah puts his hope in God as the sovereign Father (see Ps. 103:13–14; Isa. 45:9–10).
Isa. 64:12 yourself . . . us. God’s own glory and his people’s desire for restored happiness in him will surely move him to act.
