Isaiah 65:16 Douay-Rheims

In which he that is blessed upon the earth, shall be blessed in God, amen: and he that sweareth in the earth, shall swear by God, amen: because the former distresses are forgotten, and because they are hid from my eyes.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

That he--rather, "he who," &c. blesseth, &c.-- (Psa 72:17; Jer 4:2). God of truth--very God, as opposed to false gods; Hebrew, Amen: the very name of Messiah (Co2 1:20; Rev 3:14), faithful to His promises (Joh 1:17; Joh 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 (Isa 19:18; Deu 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 (Isa 65:17, &c.). [MAURER].
