John Trapp on Isaiah 65:11

Ver. 11. But ye are they that forſake the Lord] Or, As for you, that have forſaken the Lord, to obſerve lying vanities, and ſo are miſerable by your own election, Jo[illegible: 1 letter]. 2.8. you ſhall be yet more miſerable at the great day of Judgment eſpecially, of which ſome take this following part of the Chapter to be meant and intended. Then theſe improbi & reprobi ſhall be ſure to ſmoke for it: then they ſhall return and diſcern betwixt the righteous and the wicked: yea the Judge himſelf ſhall ſhew them a manifeſt difference, as ver. 13, 14, 15, &c.

That forget my holy mountain] i. e. My Temple and pure worſhip, which ye ſlight and neglect, q. d. there is no new wine in your cluſter, but rather gall and deadly poiſon: therefore it ſhall be otherwiſe with you.

That prepare a table for that troop] As the Iſraelites feaſted before the Lord, Deut. 16.14, 15. ſo in an apiſh imitation did the heathens before their Idols, Judg. 9.27. Ezek. 18.6, 7. 1 Cor. 8.10. and of them theſe ſuperſtitious Jews had learned to do the like, in the dayes of Ahaz and Manaſſeh, who degenerated into his Grand-Father Ahaz, as if there had been no intervention of an Hezekiah.

For that troop] So the Prophet ſpeaketh, as pointing to their Idols, whereof they had great ſtore. Gad (here uſed) and Menni (rendered Number here likewiſe) ſome interpret Fortune and Fate; others, Jupiter and Mercury. The Septuagint for to that Number, hath to the Devil. Oecolampadius thinks the Prophet alludeth to the Pythagorean numbers: [non-Latin text not transcribed]. and eſpecially to the number of four, which they ſuperſtitiouſly obſerved. Others ſay, the Jews ſymbolized with the Heathens in drinking to their Idols by number: to ſuch an Idol they would drink ſo many cups, and that was called a Drink-offering to that Number. Hence Antiphanes in Athenaeus ſaith, Lib. 10.Aduſque tria pocula venerandos eſſe deos.
