“If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;”
King James Version (KJV)
44:18 Turned - From thy worship to idols.
44:19 Broken us - By inflicting upon us one breach after another, thou hast at last brought us to this pass. The place - A place extremely desolate, such as dragons love, #Isa 13:21|,22, and therefore full of horror, and danger. Covered us - With deadly horrors and miseries.
44:22 Yea - Because we are constant in thy worship, which they abhor.
