12. Therefore will I number you to the sword.] An allusion to the derivation of the word Meni, which signifies "number:" such plays upon the words are frequent in the Prophets. W. Lowth. 15. And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen:] Mine elect shall look upon you as a standing monument of God's indignation; your name shall be mentioned in a common form of imprecation, God do to me, as He has done to the wicked Jews, &c. The other name mentioned here may mean, that of Christians. W. Lowth. But see note on chap. lxii. 2. 16. — the God of truth:] The God of Amen in the Hebrew, rightly translated, "the God of truth:" Rev. iii. 14. Jesus Christ is called Amen; being the faithful and true witness, yea, the "Truth" itself, John xiv. 6, and perhaps in allusion to this place. Compare 2 Cor. i. 20. Bp. Beveridge, W. Lowth.
