The word that asks Jacob and Israel why they say, “My way is hidden from the LORD”
야곱아 어찌하여 내 사정이 여호와께 숨겨졌다 하느냐고 묻는 말씀
Isaiah 40:27–31: the text says, “Why do you say, Jacob, and speak, Israel, ‘My way is hidden from the LORD, and the justice due me is disregarded by my God’? Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might. Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall; but those who wait for the LORD will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.” These verses carry no formula naming who speaks.
