Isaiah 40:27

How can you say, Jacob,
and speak thus, Israel [Jacob and Israel are used synonymously for the twelve tribes]:
"My way is hidden from the Lord (Yahweh),
and my judgment passes by my God (Elohim)."
[The words may refer to the coming exile to Babylon, see Isa. 39:6. In times of trial and suffering, questions may arise as to whether the Lord sees what I am going through and whether he will bring justice?]
