Commentary on Isaiah 65:12

Theological / Devotional

Number you to the sword. Or, “destine you to the sword.” The Hebrew verb here employed (manah) is the root of the name Meni (see on v. 11).

When I called. Compare vs. 1,2. The people had been disturbed over the fact that when they needed help and called upon God, He did not answer (chs. 63:15; 64:12). However, the blame for their plight rested with them, not God. The people had destroyed themselves by their own impenitence (Hosea 13:9).
