God Is Deeply Attentive

Commentators emphasize that God's repetition of seeing the oppression and hearing the cries is intentional. John Gill notes this shows the 'great notice he took of it.' Matthew Henry adds that God is aware of even the 'secret sorrows' of His people. This verse is a powerful assurance that God is not distant or unaware; He is intimately attentive to the suffering of His people.
