Isaiah 48:11
_ _ how should my name — Maurer, instead of “My name” from Isaiah 48:9, supplies “My glory” from the next clause; and translates, “How (shamefully) My glory has been profaned!” In English Version the sense is, “I will refrain (Isaiah 48:9, that is, not utterly destroy thee), for why should I permit My name to be polluted, which it would be, if the Lord utterly destroyed His elect people” (Ezekiel 20:9)?
_ _ not give my glory unto another — If God forsook His people for ever, the heathen would attribute their triumph over Israel to their idols; so God’s glory would be given to another. |

Glory — I will not give any colour to idolaters, to ascribe the divine nature and properties, to idols, as they would do if I did not rescue my people out of their hands in spite of their idols. |
