Isaiah 65:12
_ _ number — “doom” you. Alluding to the “number,” as Meni (Isaiah 65:11) means. Retribution in kind, the punishment answering to the sin (compare 2 Chronicles 36:14-17).
_ _ I called, ye ... not answer — “I called,” though “none had called” upon Me (Isaiah 64:7); yet even then none “answered” (Proverbs 1:24). Contrast with this God and His people’s mutual fellowship in prayer (Isaiah 65:24). |
Isaiah 65:12
To the sword — A great number of you shall perish by the sword; or possibly the term number may refer to all in the next phrase, so that none of them should escape. God saith he will number them, tell them out one by one to the sword. Bow down — As you have bowed down to idols. I called — By my prophets, you did not answer by doing the things which I enjoined. Chuse — You sinned deliberately chusing sinful courses, the things which I hated. |
Isaiah 65:12
Therefore will I (p) number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I (q) spoke, ye did not hear; but did evil before my eyes, and did choose [that] in which I delighted not.
(p) Seeing you cannot number your gods, I will number you with the sword.
(q) By my prophets, whom you would not obey. |
