This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The prophet turneth his discourse from denouncing judgment against the idolaters and formalists amongst the Jews to such as feared God, whose religion is described by a
trembling at his word, as Isa_66:2; such a turning of the prophet’s discourse was Isa_1:10 51:1,7. The same words belong not to saints and presumptuous sinners. Your brethren, by nation, or by external profession in religion, though false brethren, Gal_2:4. Thus Paul calls all the rejected Jews
brethren, Rom_9:3. That cast you out; that either shut you out of their intimate society, or (which is more probable) excommunicate and cast you out of their synagogues, or cast you out of their city, and some of you out of the world, Joh_9:22,35 16:2.
For my name’s sake, i.e. for my sake, for your owning me and adherence to my law. Said, Let the Lord be glorified; either mocking you, as the Jews did Christ, when hanging union the cross, Mat_27:43 Luk_23:35; thus they mocked at David, Psa_42:3. Or,
Let the Lord be glorified, thinking they did God good service, Joh_16:2.
But he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed; there will come a day when God shall appear and let them know his judgment concerning their violence and rage, then you shall have joy, and they shall be ashamed, 1Th_4:16-18.
