Chasidut zu Jeschijahu 55:8

כִּ֣י לֹ֤א מַחְשְׁבוֹתַי֙ מַחְשְׁב֣וֹתֵיכֶ֔ם וְלֹ֥א דַרְכֵיכֶ֖ם דְּרָכָ֑י נְאֻ֖ם יְהוָֽה׃

Denn meine Gedanken sind nicht wie eure Gedanken, und nicht wie eure Wege sind meine Wege, spricht der Herr.

Kedushat Levi

...In psalms 92,6 Moses expressed this very clearly (with ‎hindsight) when he said: ‎‏ מה גדלו מעשיך ה' מאד עמקו מחשבותיך איש ‏בער לא ידע וכסיל לא יבין את זאת‎, ”how great are Your works O Lord, ‎how very subtle Your designs! A brutish man cannot know, a fool ‎cannot understand this.” In this psalm Moses acknowledges that ‎G’d operates on a totally different wavelength from man so that ‎man does not understand that only by doing what He does can He ‎bring about that His designs be fulfilled without His having ‎interfered with man’s freedom of choice.[some of these ‎words are mine. Ed.](Isaiah 55,8 had phrased this ‎differently when he quoted G’d as saying: ‎כי לא מחשבותי ‏מחשבותיכם‎, “for My thoughts are not like your thoughts.” G’d ‎answered both of Moses’ questions, the second one by hinting ‎that when it would come to the wars preceding capture of the ‎land of Canaan, he would no longer be the people’s leader, as the ‎people by that time would need someone who was closer to their ‎level of understanding than was Moses. In the meantime, Moses ‎would witness how by performing miracles, G’d would orchestrate ‎the redemption of the people by means of the attribute of Mercy, ‎as we have explained, although they were not ready for this ‎through their own merits.‎
