God's Two Witnesses
Commentators explain that Isaiah's questions point to two universal ways God has revealed Himself. The first is through creation ('the foundations of the earth'), which displays His power and majesty to all people. The second is through direct communication ('hath it not been told you'), referring to the Word of God passed down through history. This dual testimony leaves humanity without excuse for ignorance.
