Isaiah 65:6 - Exposition

It is written before me. The misconduct of his people is "written" in God's book, which lies open "before him," so that their sin is ever in his sight (comp. Psalms 56:8 ; Malachi 3:16 ; Revelation 20:12 ). I will not keep silence (comp. Psalms 1:3 ). "Keeping silence" is a metaphor for complete inaction. But will recompense , etc.; rather, until I have recompensed , yea , recompensed [ them ] into their bosoms (comp. Luke 6:38 ). Gifts were given and received into the fold of the beged , or cloak, which depended in front of the bosom.
