Yeshayah 65:6 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 65:6

Behold, it is written before me
This account of their sins; it was in his sight and constant remembrance, and punishment for them was determined by him, written in the book of his decrees: I will not keep silence;
but threaten with destruction, and not only threaten, but execute; plead against them really, as well as verbally, with sore judgments: but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom;
full and just recompence of punishment for all their transgressions, as it follows. The Targum is,

``I will recompense to them the vengeance of their sins, and deliver their bodies to the second death.''

Yeshayah 65:6 In-Context

4 Which remain among the kevarim, and spend the night in closed places, which eat basar hachazir, and broth of piggulim (unclean meat, Lv.7:18) in their vessels;

5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am kadosh to thee (holier than thou). These are a smoke in My nose, an eish that burneth kol hayom.

6 Hinei, it is written before Me: I will not keep silent, but will recompense fully, even recompense into their kheyk,

7 Your avonot, and the iniquities of your avot together, saith Hashem, because they burned sacrifices upon the mountains, and insulted Me upon the hills; therefore will I measure their former peulot into their kheyk.

8 Thus saith Hashem, As the tirosh is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a brocha is in it; so will I do in behalf of My Servants, that I may not destroy them all.
