On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The Gentiles are here called no people, and a foolish nation, that is, not the professing people of God. How much soever there be of the wit and wisdom of the world, those that are not the people of God are, and in the end will be found to be, a foolish people. Such was the state of the Gentile world, who yet were made the people of God, and Christ to them the wisdom of God.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The prescribed method is, Seek and find; this is a rule for us, not a rule for God, who is often found of those that do not seek. His grace is his own, distinguishing grace his own, and he dispenses it in a way of sovereignty, gives of withholds it at pleasure--anticipates us with the blessings, the riches choicest blessings, of his goodness.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

But Esaias is very bold, and saith--that is, is still plainer, and goes even the length of saying. I was found of them that sought me not--until I sought them. I was made--"became" manifest unto them that asked not after me--until the invitation from Me came to them.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

But Isaiah is very bold - And speaks plainly what Moses but intimated. An unbelieving and gainsaying people - Just opposite to those who believed with their hearts, and made confession with their mouths.
