Bible Question (short): Corinthians vs. Isaiah

Question (full): In 1 Corinthians 2:9, my Bible references that Paul is using a passage from Isaiah 64:4. Now when I see something inside of quotes I expect it to be the same. But the two passages are completely different in meaning.

In Corinthians it talks about spiritual things of God.

1Co 2:9 (NASB) but just as it is written, "THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM."

But in Isaiah the people have neither seen or heard any God except the Almighty and are praying for His help.

Isa 64:4 (NASB) For from days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear, Nor has the eye seen a God besides You, Who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him.
