God's Empathetic Heart
Commentators emphasize that the phrase "in all their affliction he was afflicted" reveals God's profound sympathy for His people. While God does not suffer as humans do, this language expresses His deep, personal compassion and tender care. As John Calvin notes, God adapts to human ways to show an "incomparable love," feeling our distresses alongside us.
