Barnes's Isaiah 59:12 Bible Commentary
Our sins testify against us - Hebrew, 'Answer against us.' The idea is, that their past lives had been so depraved that they became witnesses against them (compare the notes at Isaiah 3:9).
We know them - We recognize them as our sins, and we cannot conceal from ourselves the fact that we are transgressors.
Wesley's Isaiah 59:12 Bible Commentary
59:12 Transgressions - The word here signifies sins of an high nature, such as wherein there is much of man's will against light: rebellious sins.Multiplied - They admit of no excuse; for they are acted before thee, and multiplied against thee, whereby thou art justly provoked to deny us all help. Testify - As so many witnesses produced proves our guilt.Are with us - Are still unforgiven. We know - We are convinced of them.
