Isaiah63:19

19 We are thine , thou never barest rule over them , they were not called by thy name .

We continue so; we are in Covenant, which they never were; and thus it is an Argument they use with God to look upon them. Or, the word thine, being not in the Text, some do otherwise interpret it; we are even in the same condition we were in at first, either in Egypt, or Ur of the Caldees, before thou broughtest us into Covenant, and are accordingly dealt with; we are become even as they, whom thou didst not bear Rule over. Or, we are as if thou hadst never ruled over us of old.

Not in that manner▪ or in that relation to them, that thou didst over us.

Neither owned thee, nor owned by thee; this phrase implies a near Relation in some Circumstance or other, as Wife, or Servant, or Child, &c. Chap. 4. 1.

Marginal references: Or, thy name was not called upon them.
