Context of Isaiah 45:15
13Now I have woken up Cyrus to do for me things that are right. I will make all his paths easy to travel on. He will build again my city, and he will make my people free to return home. Nobody will have to pay him any money or give him a bribe to do that.’ That is what the Lord Almighty says. 14This is what the Lord says to his people: ‘I promise you that you will rule Egypt and Ethiopia, and also those tall people from Seba. They will bring to you the things that they buy and sell. Those valuable things will belong to you. They will walk behind you in chains, as your slaves. They will bend down low in front of you, and they will even pray to you. They will agree, “Surely God is with you. There is nobody else like him. There is no other God.” ’ Yes, you are a God who hides yourself! You are Israel's God, our Saviour! 16People who make idols will all become ashamed. People will insult them as they leave together. 17The Lord will make Israel safe. Israel will be safe and free for ever. You will never be ashamed again. People will never insult you again.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself - At present, from the nations of the world. O God of Israel, the Savior - While thou revealest thyself to the Israelites and savest them.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself - That is, that hidest thy counsels and plans. The idea is, that the ways of God seems to be dark until the distant event discloses his purpose; that a long series of mysterious events seem to succeed each other, trying to the faith of his people, and where the reason of his doings cannot be seen. The remark here seems to be made by the prophet, in view of the fact, that the dealings of God with his people in…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-19Verses 11-19 Believers may ask in prayer for what they need; if for their good, it will not be withheld. But how common to hear God called to account for his dealings with man! Cyrus provided for the returning Jews. Those redeemed by Christ shall be provided for. The restoration would convince many, and convert some; and all that truly join the Lord, find his service perfect freedom. Though God be his people's God and Saviour, yet sometimes he lays them…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1515. God that hidest thyself--Horsley, after Jerome, explains this as the confession of Egypt, &c., that God is concealed in human form in the person of Jesus. Rather, connected with Is 45:9, 10, the prophet, contemplating the wonderful issue of the seemingly dark counsels of God, implies a censure on those who presume to question God's dealings (Is 55:8, 9; De 29:29). Faith still discerns, even under the veil, the covenant-keeping "God of Israel, the…Read the comment
