הֶחֱשֵׁ֙יתִי֙ מֵֽעוֹלָ֔ם אַחֲרִ֖ישׁ אֶתְאַפָּ֑ק כַּיּוֹלֵדָ֣ה אֶפְעֶ֔ה אֶשֹּׁ֥ם וְאֶשְׁאַ֖ף יָֽחַד׃

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
אשאף I shall sigh.24A. V., I will devour.—According to I. E. the verb שאף signifies the ardent longing shown by frequent short breathing (comp. I. E. on Eccl. i., 5). The meaning of the phrase is accordingly, that God waits long before He punishes the enemies of Israel, but then he shows, as it were, eagerness to help His chosen people. Comp. שואף sighing (Eccles. 1:5). אשם Refers to the feeling of the heart, אשאף to the utterance of the mouth. This verse is addressed to those who will assert, that God is unable to help His people.25According to R. Moses Hakkohen, from the Babylonian exile; according to I. E. from the present exile. That I. E. had the latter more in view, he indicated by the use of the future שיהיו חושבים they will be believing.
