Commentary on Isaiah 52:5
The question 'what have I here...that my people is taken away for nought?' expresses divine indignation at unjust oppression. The accusation that oppressors 'make them to howl' and 'my name continually is blasphemed' shows that persecution of God's people constitutes blasphemy against God. This establishes that the church's suffering is Christ's suffering (Acts 9:4 - 'why persecutest thou me?').
