Here "I" refers to Isaiah.
# who hides his face from the house of Jacob
Yahweh's "face" is a metonym for his blessing or favor. Alternate translation: "who has taken away his blessing from the house of Jacob" or "who no longer looks with favor on the house of Jacob" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
