Isaiah 65:15 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

And ye shall leave your name, &c.— Vitringa reads, Ye shall leave your name for an oath to my chosen: the meaning, says he, is, that the punishment and calamity of these apostates should be so remarkable, that in the forms of swearing men should take their example from the severity of the divine judgment inflicted upon them, and from their miserable state; saying, "If I knowingly and wilfully deceive, may as great calamities happen to me, as have happened to these wicked and apostate Jews!" See Jeremiah 29:22. The Lord shall slay thee, is thought to allude to the total abolition of the Jewish oeconomy. The following verse seems to justify the translation and interpretation given by Vitringa.
