Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 10. - We grope for the wall; rather, we grope along the wall (comp. Deuteronomy 28:29; and for the "blindness that had happened unto Israel" see above, Isaiah 29:10, 18; Isaiah 35:5; Isaiah 42:16, etc.). We stumble at noonday. It was not that light was really wanting, but they had no eyes to behold it. We are in desolate places; rather, in dark places (Vulgate, Rodiger, Kay, Knobel). The word occurs only in this place, and is of doubtful signification.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) We grope for the wall . . .--The words present a striking parallelism with Deuteronomy 28:29, and may have been reproduced from, or in, it.We are in desolate places . . .--Many critics render, (1) among those full of life, or (2) in luxuriant fields, of which (1) is preferable, as giving an antithesis like that of the other clauses. So taken, we have a parallelism with Psalm 73:5-8.
