This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_65:15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
Ver. 15. And ye shall leave your name for a curse.] So that when mine elect shall denounce my curse against any one, they shall say, God make thee such another as was such a cursed wretch. See Jer_24:9; Jer_29:22; Jer_44:8; Zec_8:13, {See Trapp on "Zec_8:13"} Iadaeus sim si fallo, say the Turks at this day; As hard-hearted and unhappy as a Jew, say we.
And call his servants by another name.] Jews inwardly, Israelites indeed, Christians, a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people. {1Pe_2:9} The wicked, when they die, go out in a snuff, leave a stench behind them, as they say the devil doth when he goeth out of a room; but when the saints depart, they leave a sweet smell behind them, as those lamps do that are fed with aromatical oil. Yea, it is more than probable that in the next world we shall look upon Bradford and such with thoughts of extraordinary love and sweetness through all eternity, as Bonner and such with execration and everlasting detestation.
