Isaiah65:16
16. That he--rather, "he who," &c.
blesseth, &c.--(Psa 72:17; Jr 4:2).
God of truth--very God, as opposed to false gods; Hebrew, Amen: the very name of Messiah (2Co 1:20; Re 3:14), faithful to His promises (Joh 1:17; 6:32). Real, substantial, spiritual, eternal, as opposed to the shadowy types of the law.
sweareth, &c.--God alone shall be appealed to as God (Is 19:18; De 6:13; Psa 63:11).
troubles--that is, sins, provocations [Lowth]. Rather, calamities caused by your sins; so far from these visiting you again, the very remembrance of them is "hid from Mine eyes" by the magnitude of the blessings I will confer on you (Is 65:17, &c.). [Maurer].
