Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 65:6

6 Behold, it is written before me , I will not keep silence , but will recompense even recompense into their bosom ;

They may think that I take no notice of these things, or if I take any notice, I will forget them, or at least not enter into judgment with them for them; but I as certainly know and will remember them, as Princes or great men that record things in writing which they would not forget. And they shall know that I know, and take notice of, and will remember them; for

I will not long neglect the punishment of them, though for a while I have delayed it like a man who bites in his wrath, for some wise reasons which are known unto himself best. Psal. 50. 21.

My punishment of them shall be severe, and certain, but yet it shall be just, but a giving them what is their own, as they are obnoxious to my Justice, Ier. 32. 18. Deut. 7. 10. like the payment of an Ox for an Ox, Exod. 21▪ 36. (where the same word is used) they have been froward against me, and I will shew my self froward against them, Psal. 18. 26.
