How preachers through history handled this text
7 public-domain excerpts on Isaiah 65, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“THE GOD OF THE AMEN' He who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth.'--ISAIAH lxv. 16.
