Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 65:15
Isaiah 65:15. And ye shall leave your name, &c.— Vitringa reads, Ye shall leave your name for an oath to my chosen: the meaning, says he, is, that the punishment and calamity of these apostates should be so remarkable, that in the forms of swearing men should take their example from the severity of the divine judgment inflicted upon them, and from their miserable state; saying, "If I knowingly and wilfully deceive, may as great calamities happen to me, as have happened to these wicked and... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 65:15
15. curse—The name of "Jew" has been for long a formula of execration (compare :-); if one wishes to curse another, he can utter nothing worse than this, "God make thee what the Jew is!" Contrast the formula (Genesis 48:20) [MAURER]. my chosen—the elect Church, gathered from Jews and Gentiles, called by "another name," Christians (Genesis 48:20- :). However (see on Genesis 48:20- :), as "My chosen," or "elect," in Genesis 48:20- :, refers to the "seed of Jacob," the believing Jews, hereafter... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 65:1-16
The divine response 65:1-16The Lord responded, through the prophet, to the viewpoint expressed in the preceding prayer (Isaiah 63:7 to Isaiah 64:12)."The great mass [of the Israelites] were in that state of ’sin unto death’ which defies all intercession (1 John Isaiah 65:16), because they had so scornfully and obstinately resisted the grace which had been so long and so incessantly offered to them." [Note: Delitzsch, 2:474.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 65:8-16
Consistent faithfulness 65:8-16The Lord proceeded to explain that even though He would destroy the ungodly, He would also spare the truly godly among His people (cf. Genesis 18:23-25). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 65:15-16
The reputation (name) of the rebellious Israelites would remain as a curse to all the Israelites, and Sovereign Yahweh would slay them. This is not a replacement of all Israel by the church, but a replacement of all who depended on formal worship for their relationship with God by those who genuinely loved and obeyed God. But those who faithfully served the Lord by keeping His covenant would have another reputation, namely, the reputation of the God of truth (lit. amen). People would bless and... read more

1. Render, ’I have offered answers to those who asked not; I have been at hand to those who sought me not.. a nation that hath not called upon my name.’ The v. refers to the Israelites who neglected Jehovah’s appeals so often made. St. Paul (Romans 10:20) applies the passage by inference to the heathen world.3. Gardens] the scenes of idolatrous rites in the pre-exile period (Isaiah 1:29; Isaiah 57:5).

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 65:15
(15) Ye shall leave your name for a curse . . .—The phrase has parallels in Numbers 5:21; Zechariah 8:13; Jeremiah 29:22, the thought in each case being that the person named is under so heavy a penalty from the wrath of Jehovah that he becomes a representative instance of what that wrath can accomplish, and because the old name, say of Jacob or of Judah, has been thus identified with evil. He will call His chosen ones, the true Israel, as by another name, which shall be for blessing, and not... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 65:1-16
God’s people: servants or rebels? (65:1-16)It was God’s desire that Israel seek him and enjoy his blessings, but instead the nation rebelled against him and stubbornly went its own way. Only a minority within Israel, along with those of Gentile nations who turned to Israel’s God, were really God’s people (65:1-2). As for the people of Israel as a whole, they had throughout their long history repeatedly made God angry. They sacrificed to other gods, consulted the spirits of the dead and ate... read more
