This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Will I do it; this great work of delivering my people out of Babylon. My name is here fitly supplied, both out of Isa_48:9, where it is expressed, and out of the following clause of this verse, where he saith,
my glory, which is equivalent to it. The sense is, If I should not spare and deliver my people, my name would be sadly profaned and blasphemed, as if I were either impotent or implacable to them.
I will not give my glory unto another; I will not give any colour or occasion to idolaters to ascribe the Divine nature and properties, which are my peculiar, unto idols, as they would do if I did not rescue my people out of their hands in spite of their idols.
