Isaiah 57:11

Isa 57:11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid [it] to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?

Ver. 11. And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared? ] q.d., Not me surely, as thou oughtst; but thy fellow creatures, whom thou shouldst have looked upon as so many mice.

That thou hast lied, ] i.e., So basely flattered the Assyrian.

Have I not held my peace? ] i.e., Borne with thee, more than any else would ever have done? And yet my lenity is even worse than lost upon thee.
