Isaiah 59:10 - Exposition

We grope for the wall ; rather, we grope along the wall (comp. Deuteronomy 28:29 ; and for the "blindness that had happened unto Israel" see above, Isaiah 29:10 , Isaiah 29:18 ; Isaiah 35:5 ; Isaiah 42:16 , etc.). We stumble at noonday . It was not that light was really wanting, but they had no eyes to behold it. We are in desolate places; rather, in dark places (Vulgate, Rodiger, Kay, Knobel). The word occurs only in this place, and is of doubtful signification.
