‏ Isaiah 65:12

12. number--"doom" you. Alluding to the "number," as Meni (Is 65:11) means. Retribution in kind, the punishment answering to the sin (compare 2Ch 36:14-17).

I called, ye ... not answer--"I called," though "none had called" upon Me (Is 64:7); yet even then none "answered" (Pr 1:24). Contrast with this God and His people's mutual fellowship in prayer (Is 65:24).
