ISAIAH—NOTE ON Isaiah 30:18 Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you. Note the amazing logic of grace: God’s people forsake him for a false salvation (vv. Isaiah 30:1); therefore, he is gracious to them (v. Isaiah 30:18). But he waits, for the LORD is a God of justice, that is, he knows the perfect way to achieve his purpose, the perfect time to go into action, and the perfect kind of discipline that will awaken Judah.
