John Trapp Complete Commentary

Isaiah 60:12

For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, [those] nations shall be utterly wasted.

Ver. 12. For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish.] They are utterly out then, who hold that men may be saved in what religion soever, so be it they lead an honest life. And Pope Julius III is justly accused of sacrilege for stamping money with his own image and this inscription, "The nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish."
