Isaiah 57:10

Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way... — Better, with the length of thy journey — i.e., with the long embassies to Assyria, and to Babylon, as for the time the residence of its kings. For “there is no hope,” read, there is no result, or profit. Judah would not acknowledge that the negotiations were fruitless.

Thou hast found the life of thine hand... — The words arc a literal rendering, and convey the meaning, Thou didst renew the strength of thine hand — i.e., Judah found a fancied increase of power in the alliance she was seeking, and therefore did not repent of her ignominious diplomacy.
