Isaiah 65:11-16 - Exposition

A MIXTURE OF THREATS WITH PROMISES . The prophet returns, in the main, to his former attitude, and resumes his denunciations ( Isaiah 65:11 , Isaiah 65:12 ); but, with Isaiah 65:13 , he begins to intermingle promises of favour to God's servants with threats against the rebellious, and finally (in Isaiah 65:16 ) turns wholly towards the side of grace and favour, announcing the coming of a time when "the former troubles" will be altogether "forgotten," and the kingdom of truth and right will be established.
