'Hidden' in the Bible
Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel,“My way is hidden from the Lord,And the justice due me escapes the notice of my God”?
But this is a people plundered and despoiled;All of them are trapped in caves,Or are hidden away in prisons;They have become a prey with none to deliver them,And a spoil, with none to say, “Give them back!”
“I will give you the treasures of darknessAnd hidden wealth of secret places,So that you may know that it is I,The Lord, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.
“You have heard; look at all this.And you, will you not declare it?I proclaim to you new things from this time,Even hidden things which you have not known.
He has made My mouth like a sharp sword,In the shadow of His hand He has concealed Me;And He has also made Me a select arrow,He has hidden Me in His quiver.
But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God,And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.
There is no one who calls on Your name,Who arouses himself to take hold of You;For You have hidden Your face from usAnd have delivered us into the power of our iniquities.
“Because he who is blessed in the earthWill be blessed by the God of truth;And he who swears in the earthWill swear by the God of truth;Because the former troubles are forgotten,And because they are hidden from My sight!
