‏ Isaiah 57:10

10. greatness of ... way--the length of thy journey in seeking strange gods, or else foreign aid (Jr 2:23, 24). Notwithstanding thy deriving no good from these long journeys (so, "send ... far off," Is 57:9), thou dost not still give up hope (Jr 2:25; 18:12).

hast found ... life of ... hand--for "thou still findest life (that is, vigor) enough in thy hand" to make new idols [Maurer], or to seek new alliance ("hand" being then taken for strength in general).

grieved--rather, "therefore thou art not weak" [Maurer]; inasmuch as having "life in thy hand," thou art still strong in hope.
