33:2 the maker thereof. Although the object of God’s “making” is not specifically named, the comprehensive promise of the next verse implies that the prophet was speaking about the earth itself. God “made it;” He also “formed” and “established it.” Compare Isaiah 45:18.

33:3 I will answer thee. This is one of the Bible’s greatest promises of answered prayer. Nothing is too hard for God nor too good for His people, if they pray according to His will (I John 5:14-15).
