wherefore cryest thou] Esa. 64. 24. We read of no words that he said: his crying was therefore, like to be strong ejaculations and groanings of his spirit, Romans 8:26. which he uttered with some perturbation of minde, (mixt with anger and feare) upon the peoples clamour against him. Yet his passion at them, did not overcome his confidence in God, nor that make him withdraw his devotion from him, or withhold his supplications for their safetie. By this question, God doth not finde fault with his devotion, but rather hasten him to the action; wherewith he meant to joyne his own miraculous power, for their preservation, and their enemies destruction, that is the stretching of the rod, as in the next verse.
