1Visión de Isaías hijo de Amoz, la cual vio acerca de Judá y Jerusalén en días de Uzías, Jotam, Acaz y Ezequías, reyes de Judá.
2Oíd, cielos, y escucha tú, tierra; porque habla Jehová: Crie hijos, y los engrandecí, y ellos se rebelaron contra mí.
3El buey conoce a su dueño, y el asno el pesebre de su señor; Israel no entiende, mi pueblo no tiene conocimiento.
4¡Oh gente pecadora, pueblo cargado de maldad, generación de malignos, hijos depravados! Dejaron a Jehová, provocaron a ira al Santo de Israel, se volvieron atrás.
5¿Por qué querréis ser castigados aún? ¿Todavía os rebelaréis? Toda cabeza está enferma, y todo corazón doliente.
6Desde la planta del pie hasta la cabeza no hay en él cosa sana, sino herida, hinchazón y podrida llaga; no están curadas, ni vendadas, ni suavizadas con aceite.
7Vuestra tierra está destruida, vuestras ciudades puestas a fuego, vuestra tierra delante de vosotros comida por extranjeros, y asolada como asolamiento de extraños.
8Y queda la hija de Sion como enramada en viña, y como cabaña en melonar, como ciudad asolada.
9Si Jehová de los ejércitos no nos hubiese dejado un resto pequeño, como Sodoma fuéramos, y semejantes a Gomorra.
10Príncipes de Sodoma, oíd la palabra de Jehová; escuchad la ley de nuestro Dios, pueblo de Gomorra.
11¿Para qué me sirve, dice Jehová, la multitud de vuestros sacrificios? Hastiado estoy de holocaustos de carneros y de sebo de animales gordos; no quiero sangre de bueyes, ni de ovejas, ni de machos cabríos.
12¿Quién demanda esto de vuestras manos, cuando venís a presentaros delante de mí para hollar mis atrios?
13No me traigáis más vana ofrenda; el incienso me es abominación; luna nueva y día de reposo, el convocar asambleas, no lo puedo sufrir; son iniquidad vuestras fiestas solemnes.
14Vuestras lunas nuevas y vuestras fiestas solemnes las tiene aborrecidas mi alma; me son gravosas; cansado estoy de soportarlas.
15Cuando extendáis vuestras manos, yo esconderé de vosotros mis ojos; asimismo cuando multipliquéis la oración, yo no oiré; llenas están de sangre vuestras manos.
16Lavaos y limpiaos; quitad la iniquidad de vuestras obras de delante de mis ojos; dejad de hacer lo malo;
17aprended a hacer el bien; buscad el juicio, restituid al agraviado, haced justicia al huérfano, amparad a la viuda.
18Venid luego, dice Jehová, y estemos a cuenta: si vuestros pecados fueren como la grana, como la nieve serán emblanquecidos; si fueren rojos como el carmesí, vendrán a ser como blanca lana.
19Si quisiereis y oyereis, comeréis el bien de la tierra;
20si no quisiereis y fuereis rebeldes, seréis consumidos a espada; porque la boca de Jehová lo ha dicho.
21¿Cómo te has convertido en ramera, oh ciudad fiel? Llena estuvo de justicia, en ella habitó la equidad; pero ahora, los homicidas.
22Tu plata se ha convertido en escorias, tu vino está mezclado con agua.
23Tus príncipes, prevaricadores y compañeros de ladrones; todos aman el soborno, y van tras las recompensas; no hacen justicia al huérfano, ni llega a ellos la causa de la viuda.
24Por tanto, dice el Señor, Jehová de los ejércitos, el Fuerte de Israel: Ea, tomaré satisfacción de mis enemigos, me vengaré de mis adversarios;
25y volveré mi mano contra ti, y limpiaré hasta lo más puro tus escorias, y quitaré toda tu impureza.
26Restauraré tus jueces como al principio, y tus consejeros como eran antes; entonces te llamarán Ciudad de justicia, Ciudad fiel.
27Sion será rescatada con juicio, y los convertidos de ella con justicia.
28Pero los rebeldes y pecadores a una serán quebrantados, y los que dejan a Jehová serán consumidos.
29Entonces os avergonzarán las encinas que amasteis, y os afrentarán los huertos que escogisteis.
30Porque seréis como encina a la que se le cae la hoja, y como huerto al que le faltan las aguas.
31Y el fuerte será como estopa, y lo que hizo como centella; y ambos serán encendidos juntamente, y no habrá quien apague.

Versículo 2

The very words of Moses (Deu 32:1); this implies that the law was the charter and basis of all prophecy (Isa 8:20).
Lord--Jehovah; in Hebrew, "the self-existing and promise-fulfilling, unchangeable One." The Jews never pronounced this holy name, but substituted Adonai. The English Version, LORD in capitals, marks the Hebrew "Jehovah," though Lord is rather equivalent to "Adonai" than "Jehovah."
children-- (Exo 4:22).
rebelled--as sons (Deu 21:18) and as subjects, God being king in the theocracy (Isa 63:10). "Brought up," literally, "elevated," namely, to peculiar privileges (Jer 2:6-8; Rom 9:4-5).
II
Versículo 3
II. (Jer 8:7).
(Jer 8:7).
crib--the stall where it is fed (Pro 14:4). Spiritually the word and ordinances.
Israel--The whole nation, Judah as well as Israel, in the restricted sense. God regards His covenant-people in their designed unity.
not know--namely, his Owner, as the parallelism requires; that is, not recognize Him as such (Exo 19:5, equivalent to "my people," Joh 1:10-11).
consider--attend to his Master (Isa 41:8), notwithstanding the spiritual food which He provides (answering to "crib" in the parallel clause).
III
Versículo 4
III. people--the peculiar designation of God's elect nation (Hos 1:10), that they should be "laden wit…
people--the peculiar designation of God's elect nation (Hos 1:10), that they should be "laden with iniquity" is therefore the more monstrous. Sin is a load (Psa 38:4; Mat 11:28).
seed--another appellation of God's elect (Gen 12:7; Jer 2:21), designed to be a "holy seed" (Isa 6:13), but, awful to say, "evildoers!"
children--by adoption (Hos 11:1), yet "evildoers"; not only so, but "corrupters" of others (Gen 6:12); the climax. So "nation--people--seed children."
provoked--literally, "despised," namely, so as to provoke (Pro 1:30-31).
Holy One of Israel--the peculiar heinousness of their sin, that it was against their God (Amo 3:2).
gone . . . backward--literally, "estranged" (Psa 58:3).
IV
Versículo 5
IV. Why--rather, as Vulgate, "On what part." Image from a body covered all over with marks of blows (…
Why--rather, as Vulgate, "On what part." Image from a body covered all over with marks of blows (Psa 38:3). There is no part in which you have not been smitten.
head . . . sick, &c.--not referring, as it is commonly quoted, to their sins, but to the universality of their punishment. However, sin, the moral disease of the head or intellect, and the heart, is doubtless made its own punishment (Pro 1:31; Jer 2:19; Hos 8:11). "Sick," literally, "is in a state of sickness" [GESENIUS]; "has passed into sickness" [MAURER].
V
Versículo 6
V. From the lowest to the highest of the people; "the ancient and honorable, the head, the prophet t…
From the lowest to the highest of the people; "the ancient and honorable, the head, the prophet that teacheth lies, the tail." See Isa 9:13-16. He first states their wretched condition, obvious to all (Isa 1:6-9); and then, not previously, their irreligious state, the cause of it.
wounds--judicially inflicted (Hos 5:13).
mollified with ointment--The art of medicine in the East consists chiefly in external applications (Luk 10:34; Jam 5:14).
VI
Versículo 7
VI. Judah had not in Uzziah's reign recovered from the ravages of the Syrians in Joash's reign (Ch2 2…
Judah had not in Uzziah's reign recovered from the ravages of the Syrians in Joash's reign (Ch2 24:24), and of Israel in Amaziah's reign (Ch2 25:13, Ch2 25:23, &c.). Compare Isaiah's contemporary (Amo 4:6-11), where, as here (Isa 1:9-10), Israel is compared to "Sodom and Gomorrah," because of the judgments on it by "fire."
in your presence--before your eyes: without your being able to prevent them.
desolate, &c.--literally, "there is desolation, such as one might look for from foreign" invaders.
VII
Versículo 8
VII. daughter of Zion--the city (Psa 9:14), Jerusalem and its inhabitants (Kg2 19:21): "daughter" (fem…
daughter of Zion--the city (Psa 9:14), Jerusalem and its inhabitants (Kg2 19:21): "daughter" (feminine, singular being used as a neuter collective noun), equivalent to sons (Isa 12:6, Margin) [MAURER]. Metropolis or "mother-city" is the corresponding term. The idea of youthful beauty is included in "daughter."
left--as a remnant escaping the general destruction.
cottage--a hut, made to give temporary shelter to the caretaker of the vineyard.
lodge--not permanent.
besieged--rather, as "left," and Isa 1:9 require, preserved, namely, from the desolation all round [MAURER].
VIII
Versículo 9
VIII. Jehovah of Sabaoth, that is, God of the angelic and starry hosts (Psa 59:5; Psa 147:4; Psa 148:2)…
Jehovah of Sabaoth, that is, God of the angelic and starry hosts (Psa 59:5; Psa 147:4; Psa 148:2). The latter were objects of idolatry, called hence Sabaism (Kg2 17:16). God is above even them (Ch1 16:26). "The groves" were symbols of these starry hosts; it was their worship of Sabaoth instead of the Lord of Sabaoth, which had caused the present desolation (Ch2 24:18). It needed no less a power than His, to preserve even a "remnant." Condescending grace for the elect's sake, since He has no need of us, seeing that He has countless hosts to serve Him.
IX
Versículo 10
IX. Sodom--spiritually (Gen 19:24; Jer 23:14; Eze 16:46; Rev 11:8).
Sodom--spiritually (Gen 19:24; Jer 23:14; Eze 16:46; Rev 11:8).
X
Versículo 11
X. God does not here absolutely disparage sacrifice, which is as old and universal as sin (Gen 3:21;…
God does not here absolutely disparage sacrifice, which is as old and universal as sin (Gen 3:21; Gen 4:4), and sin is almost as old as the world; but sacrifice, unaccompanied with obedience of heart and life (Sa1 15:22; Psa 50:9-13; Psa 51:16-19; Hos 6:6). Positive precepts are only means; moral obedience is the end. A foreshadowing of the gospel, when the One real sacrifice was to supersede all the shadowy ones, and "bring in everlasting righteousness" (Psa 40:6-7; Dan 9:24-27; Heb 10:1-14).
full--to satiety; weary of
burnt offerings--burnt whole, except the blood, which was sprinkled about the altar.
fat--not to be eaten by man, but burnt on the altar (Lev 3:4-5, Lev 3:11, Lev 3:17).
XI
Versículo 12
XI. appear before me--in the temple where the Shekinah, resting on the ark, was the symbol of God's p…
appear before me--in the temple where the Shekinah, resting on the ark, was the symbol of God's presence (Exo 23:15; Psa 42:2).
who hath required this--as if you were doing God a service by such hypocritical offerings (Job 35:7). God did require it (Exo 23:17), but not in this spirit (Mic 6:6-7).
courts--areas, in which the worshippers were. None but priests entered the temple itself.
XII
Versículo 13
XII. oblations--unbloody; "meat (old English sense, not flesh) offerings," that is, of flour, fruits, …
oblations--unbloody; "meat (old English sense, not flesh) offerings," that is, of flour, fruits, oil, &c. (Lev 2:1-13). Hebrew, mincha.
incense--put upon the sacrifices, and burnt on the altar of incense. Type of prayer (Psa 141:2; Rev 8:3).
new moons--observed as festivals (Num 10:10; Num 28:11, Num 28:14) with sacrifices and blowing of silver trumpets.
sabbaths--both the seventh day and the beginning and closing days of the great feasts (Lev. 23:24-39).
away with--bear, MAURER translates, "I cannot bear iniquity and the solemn meeting," that is, the meeting associated with iniquity--literally, the closing days of the feasts; so the great days (Lev 23:36; Joh 7:37).
XIII
Versículo 14
XIII. appointed--the sabbath, passover, pentecost, day of atonement, and feast of tabernacles [HENGSTEN…
appointed--the sabbath, passover, pentecost, day of atonement, and feast of tabernacles [HENGSTENBERG]; they alone were fixed to certain times of the year.
weary-- (Isa 43:24).
XIV
Versículo 15
XIV. (Psa 66:18; Pro 28:9; Lam 3:43-44).
(Psa 66:18; Pro 28:9; Lam 3:43-44).
spread . . . hands--in prayer (Kg1 8:22). Hebrew, "bloods," for all heinous sins, persecution of God's servants especially (Mat 23:35). It was the vocation of the prophets to dispel the delusion, so contrary to the law itself (Deu 10:16), that outward ritualism would satisfy God.
XV
Versículo 16
XV. God saith to the sinner, "Wash you," &c., that he, finding his inability to "make" himself "clean…
God saith to the sinner, "Wash you," &c., that he, finding his inability to "make" himself "clean," may cry to God, Wash me, cleanse me (Psa 51:2, Psa 51:7, Psa 51:10).
before mine eyes--not mere outward reformation before man's eyes, who cannot, as God, see into the heart (Jer 32:19).
16
Versículo 17
16. seek judgment--justice, as magistrates, instead of seeking bribes (Jer 22:3, Jer 22:16).
seek judgment--justice, as magistrates, instead of seeking bribes (Jer 22:3, Jer 22:16).
judge--vindicate (Psa 68:5; Jam 1:27).
17
Versículo 18
17. God deigns to argue the case with us, that all may see the just, nay, loving principle of His dea…
God deigns to argue the case with us, that all may see the just, nay, loving principle of His dealings with men (Isa 43:26).
scarlet--the color of Jesus Christ's robe when bearing our "sins" (Mat 27:28). So Rahab's thread (Jos 2:18; compare Lev 14:4). The rabbins say that when the lot used to be taken, a scarlet fillet was bound on the scapegoat's head, and after the high priest had confessed his and the people's sins over it, the fillet became white: the miracle ceased, according to them, forty years before the destruction of Jerusalem, that is, exactly when Jesus Christ was crucified; a remarkable admission of adversaries. Hebrew for "scarlet" radically means double-dyed; so the deep-fixed permanency of sin in the heart, which no mere tears can wash away.
snow-- (Psa 51:7). Repentance is presupposed, before sin can be made white as snow (Isa 1:19-20); it too is God's gift (Jer 31:18, end; Lam 5:21; Act 5:31).
red--refers to "blood" (Isa 1:15).
as wool--restored to its original undyed whiteness. This verse shows that the old fathers did not look only for transitory promises (Article VII, Book of Common Prayer). For sins of ignorance, and such like, alone had trespass offerings appointed for them; greater guilt therefore needed a greater sacrifice, for, "without shedding of blood there was no remission"; but none such was appointed, and yet forgiveness was promised and expected; therefore spiritual Jews must have looked for the One Mediator of both Old Testament and New Testament, though dimly understood.
18
Versículo 19
18. Temporal blessings in "the land of their possession" were prominent in the Old Testament promises…
Temporal blessings in "the land of their possession" were prominent in the Old Testament promises, as suited to the childhood of the Church (Exo 3:17). New Testament spiritual promises derive their imagery from the former (Mat 5:5).
19
Versículo 20
19. Lord hath spoken it--Isaiah's prophecies rest on the law (Lev 26:33). God alters not His word Num…
Lord hath spoken it--Isaiah's prophecies rest on the law (Lev 26:33). God alters not His word Numbers 23. 19).
20
Versículo 21
20. faithful--as a wife (Isa 54:5; Isa 62:5; Hos 2:19-20).
faithful--as a wife (Isa 54:5; Isa 62:5; Hos 2:19-20).
harlot-- (Eze 16:28-35).
righteousness lodged-- (Pe2 3:13).
murderers--murderous oppressors, as the antithesis requires (see on Isa 1:15; Jo1 3:15).
21
Versículo 22
21. Thy princes and people are degenerate in "solid worth," equivalent to "silver" (Jer 6:28, Jer 6:3…
Thy princes and people are degenerate in "solid worth," equivalent to "silver" (Jer 6:28, Jer 6:30; Eze 22:18-19), and in their use of the living Word, equivalent to "wine" (Sol 7:9).
mixed--literally, "circumcised." So the Arabic, "to murder" wine, equivalent to dilute it.
22
Versículo 23
22. companions of thieves--by connivance (Pro 29:24).
companions of thieves--by connivance (Pro 29:24).
gifts-- (Eze 22:12). A nation's corruption begins with its rulers.
23
Versículo 24
23. Lord . . . Lord--Adonai, JEHOVAH.
Lord . . . Lord--Adonai, JEHOVAH.
mighty One of Israel--mighty to take vengeance, as before, to save.
Ah--indignation.
ease me--My long tried patience will find relief in at last punishing the guilty (Eze 5:13). God's language condescends to human conceptions.
24
Versículo 25
24. turn . . . hand--not in wrath, but in grace (Zac 13:7), "upon thee," as Isa 1:26-27 show; contras…
turn . . . hand--not in wrath, but in grace (Zac 13:7), "upon thee," as Isa 1:26-27 show; contrasted with the enemies, of whom He will avenge Himself (Isa 1:24).
purely--literally, "as alkali purifies."
thy dross--not thy sins, but the sinful persons (Jer 6:29); "enemies" (Isa 1:24); degenerate princes (see on Isa 1:22), intermingled with the elect "remnant" of grace.
tin--Hebrew, bedil, here the alloy of lead, tin, &c., separated by smelting from the silver. The pious Bishop Bedell took his motto from this.
25
Versículo 26
25. As the degeneracy had shown itself most in the magistrates (Isa 1:17-23), so, at the "restoration…
As the degeneracy had shown itself most in the magistrates (Isa 1:17-23), so, at the "restoration," these shall be such as the theocracy "at the first" had contemplated, namely, after the Babylonish restoration in part and typically, but fully and antitypically under Messiah (Isa 32:1; Isa 52:8; Jer 33:7; Mat 19:28).
faithful--no longer "an harlot."
26
Versículo 27
26. redeemed--temporarily, civilly, and morally; type of the spiritual redemption by the price of Jes…
redeemed--temporarily, civilly, and morally; type of the spiritual redemption by the price of Jesus Christ's blood (Pe1 1:18-19), the foundation of "judgment" and "righteousness," and so of pardon. The judgment and righteousness are God's first (Isa 42:21; Rom 3:26); so they become man's when "converted" (Rom 8:3-4); typified in the display of God's "justice," then exhibited in delivering His covenant-people, whereby justice or "righteousness" was produced in them.
converts--so MAURER. But Margin, "they that return of her," namely the remnant that return from captivity. However, as Isaiah had not yet expressly foretold the Babylonian captivity, the English Version is better.
27
Versículo 28
27. destruction--literally, "breaking into shivers" (Rev 2:27). The prophets hasten forward to the fi…
destruction--literally, "breaking into shivers" (Rev 2:27). The prophets hasten forward to the final extinction of the ungodly (Psa 37:20; Rev 19:20; Rev 20:15); of which antecedent judgments are types.
28
Versículo 29
28. ashamed-- (Rom 6:21).
ashamed-- (Rom 6:21).
oaks--Others translate the "terebinth" or "turpentine tree." Groves were dedicated to idols. Our Druids took their name from the Greek for "oaks." A sacred tree is often found in Assyrian sculpture; symbol of the starry hosts, Saba.
gardens--planted enclosures for idolatry; the counterpart of the garden of Eden.
29
Versículo 30
29. oak--Ye shall be like the "oaks," the object of your "desire" (Isa 1:29). People become like the …
oak--Ye shall be like the "oaks," the object of your "desire" (Isa 1:29). People become like the gods they worship; they never rise above their level (Psa 135:18). So men's sins become their own scourges (Jer 2:9). The leaf of the idol oak fades by a law of necessary consequence, having no living sap or "water" from God. So "garden" answers to "gardens" (Isa 1:29).
30
Versículo 31
30. strong--powerful rulers (Amo 2:9).
strong--powerful rulers (Amo 2:9).
maker of it--rather, his work. He shall be at once the fuel, "tow," and the cause of the fire, by kindling the first "spark."
both--the wicked ruler, and "his work," which "is as a spark."
