Imagine you have a group of friends who used to be really strong, but now they're not around anymore. Isaiah is asking where those strong friends went, reminding us that only God is always strong and reliable.
Historical Background
This verse is from the book of Isaiah, written around 700 BCE. It was during a time when the Assyrians were threatening the kingdom of Judah. Isaiah is speaking to the people of Judah to remind them to trust in God rather than fear the Assyrians.
