Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Isaiah 63:11

Then he remembered, &c.— Vitringa is of opinion, that these are the words of the people, not of God. Then he, that is, the people, thus afflicted, remembered, or called to mind, the past benefits which God had conferred upon them; saying, Where is he who heretofore performed so many and great wonders for his people? Who bestoweth so great goodness to the house of Israel? Isaiah 63:7. See Jeremiah 2:6. The shepherds of the flock mean Moses and Aaron. Compare Psalms 77:20. He that putteth his Holy Spirit within him, that is to say, within his people, alludes to the history, Numbers 11:17.
