The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 65:15

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Ye shall leave your name for a curse (comp. Jeremiah 29:22). In their formulas of imprecation the Jews were in the habit of saying, "The Lord make thee like" this or that person, or this or that class of persons.

The name of the exiles should be used in this manner. Unto my chosen (see the comment on Isaiah 65:9). The Lord God shall slay thee (see the comment on Isaiah 65:12). Some, however, take the words as part of the formula of imprecation.

And call his servants by another name (compare what is said of "new name" in Isaiah 62:2).
