isaiah 64:3 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

isaiah 64:3 When Thou didst awesome things which we did not expect, Thou didst come down, the mountains quaked at Thy presence.

3. When--Supply from Isa 64:2, "As when."
terrible things-- (Ps 65:5).
we looked not for--far exceeding the expectation of any of our nation; unparalleled before (Ex 34:10; Ps 68:8).
camest down--on Mount Sinai.
mountains flowed--Repeated from Isa 64:1; they pray God to do the very same things for Israel now as in former ages. GESENIUS, instead of "flowed" here, and "flow" in Isa 64:1, translates from a different Hebrew root, "quake . . . quaked"; but "fire" melts and causes to flow, rather than to quake (Isa 64:2).

isaiah 64:3 When Thou didst awesome things which we did not expect, Thou didst come down, the mountains quaked at Thy presence.
