Yesaya 40:27
Konteks40:27 Why do you say, Jacob,
Why do you say, Israel,
“The Lord is not aware of what is happening to me, 1
My God is not concerned with my vindication”? 2
Yesaya 55:8-9
Konteks55:8 “Indeed, 3 my plans 4 are not like 5 your plans,
and my deeds 6 are not like 7 your deeds,
55:9 for just as the sky 8 is higher than the earth,
so my deeds 9 are superior to 10 your deeds
and my plans 11 superior to your plans.
