This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_65:7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.
Ver. 7. Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together.] Your "vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers," {1Pe_1:18} whom you have striven to out sin. {Gen_15:16 Mat_23:32; Mat_23:35-36; Mat_27:25 1Th_2:15-16}
And blasphemed me upon the hills.] Or, Reproached or dishonoured me. Displeasing service is double dishonour, because men dishonour God in that wherein they pretend (or presume at least) to please him. Such are all Popish will-worshippers; neither will it help them to plead the example of their forefathers, for here that of the prophet Ezekiel {Eze_20:18} should take place, "Walk ye not in the ways of your fathers."
Therefore will I measure into their bosom.] Or, Lap; very largely. See Psa_79:12 Luk_6:38. I will pay them home, for the new and the old together.
