Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
Neither said they, Where, etc.—The very words which God uses (Isaiah 63:9, Isaiah 63:11, Isaiah 63:13), when, as it were, reminding Himself of His former acts of love to Israel as a ground for interposing in their behalf again. When they would not say, Where is Jehovah, etc., God Himself at last said it for them (compare see on Jeremiah 2:2).
deserts . . . pits—The desert between Mount Sinai and Palestine abounds in chasms and pits, in which beasts of burden often sink down to the knees. "Shadow of death" refers to the darkness of the caverns amidst the rocky precipices (Deuteronomy 8:15; Deuteronomy 32:10).
