MESSIAH'S KINGDOM; DESOLATIONS, TO BE SUCCEEDED BY LASTING PEACE, THE SPIRIT HAVING BEEN POURED OUT. (Isa. 32:1-20) king--not Hezekiah, who was already on the throne, whereas a future time is contemplated. If he be me…

Texto — Reina-Valera 1960

1He aquí que para justicia reinará un rey, y príncipes presidirán en juicio.

2Y será aquel varón como escondedero contra el viento, y como refugio contra el turbión; como arroyos de aguas en tierra de sequedad, como sombra de gran peñasco en tierra calurosa.

3No se ofuscarán entonces los ojos de los que ven, y los oídos de los oyentes oirán atentos.

4Y el corazón de los necios entenderá para saber, y la lengua de los tartamudos hablará rápida y claramente.

5El ruin nunca más será llamado generoso, ni el tramposo será llamado espléndido.

6Porque el ruin hablará ruindades, y su corazón fabricará iniquidad, para cometer impiedad y para hablar escarnio contra Jehová, dejando vacía el alma hambrienta, y quitando la bebida al sediento.

7Las armas del tramposo son malas; trama intrigas inicuas para enredar a los simples con palabras mentirosas, y para hablar en juicio contra el pobre.

8Pero el generoso pensará generosidades, y por generosidades será exaltado.

9Mujeres indolentes, levantaos, oíd mi voz; hijas confiadas, escuchad mi razón.

10De aquí a algo más de un año tendréis espanto, oh confiadas; porque la vendimia faltará, y la cosecha no vendrá.

11Temblad, oh indolentes; turbaos, oh confiadas; despojaos, desnudaos, ceñid los lomos con cilicio.

12Golpeándose el pecho lamentarán por los campos deleitosos, por la vid fértil.

13Sobre la tierra de mi pueblo subirán espinos y cardos, y aun sobre todas las casas en que hay alegría en la ciudad de alegría.

14Porque los palacios quedarán desiertos, la multitud de la ciudad cesará; las torres y fortalezas se volverán cuevas para siempre, donde descansen asnos monteses, y ganados hagan majada;

15hasta que sobre nosotros sea derramado el Espíritu de lo alto, y el desierto se convierta en campo fértil, y el campo fértil sea estimado por bosque.

16Y habitará el juicio en el desierto, y en el campo fértil morará la justicia.

17Y el efecto de la justicia será paz; y la labor de la justicia, reposo y seguridad para siempre.

18Y mi pueblo habitará en morada de paz, en habitaciones seguras, y en recreos de reposo.

19Y cuando caiga granizo, caerá en los montes; y la ciudad será del todo abatida.

20Dichosos vosotros los que sembráis junto a todas las aguas, y dejáis libres al buey y al asno.

Versículo 2

I. a man--rather, the man Christ [LOWTH]; it is as "the Son of man" He is to reign, as it was as Son…

a man--rather, the man Christ [LOWTH]; it is as "the Son of man" He is to reign, as it was as Son of man He suffered (Mat 26:64; Joh 5:27; Joh 19:5). Not as MAURER explains, "every one of the princes shall be," &c. rivers--as refreshing as water and the cool shade are to the heated traveller (Isa 35:6-7; Isa 41:18).

Versículo 3

II. them that see--the seers or prophets.

them that see--the seers or prophets. them that hear--the people under instruction (Isa 35:5-6).

Versículo 4

III. rash--rather, "the hasty"; contrast "shall not make haste" (Isa 28:16); the reckless who will not…

rash--rather, "the hasty"; contrast "shall not make haste" (Isa 28:16); the reckless who will not take time to weigh religious truth aright. Or else, the well-instructed [HORSLEY]. stammers--those who speak confusedly on divine things (compare Exo 4:10-12; Jer 1:6; Mat 10:19-20). Or, rather, those drunken scorners who in stammering style imitated Isaiah's warnings to mock them [MAURER] (Isa 28:7-11, Isa 28:13-14, Isa 28:22; Isa 29:20); in this view, translate, "speak uprightly" (agreeably to the divine law); not as English Version, referring to the distinctness of articulation, "plainly."

Versículo 5

IV. vile--rather, "fool" [LOWTH]; that is, ungodly (Psa 14:1; Psa 74:18).

vile--rather, "fool" [LOWTH]; that is, ungodly (Psa 14:1; Psa 74:18). liberal--rather, "noble-minded." churl--rather, "fraudulent" [GESENIUS]. bountiful--religiously. The atheistic churl, who envies the believer his hope "full of immortality," shall no longer be held as a patriot struggling for the emancipation of mankind from superstition [HORSLEY].

Versículo 6

V. vile . . . villainy--rather, "the (irreligious) fool . . . (his) folly."

vile . . . villainy--rather, "the (irreligious) fool . . . (his) folly." will speak--rather, "present"; for (so far is the "fool" from deserving the epithet "noble-minded") the fool "speaketh" folly and "worketh," &c. hypocrisy--rather, "profligacy" [HORSLEY]. error--impiety, perverse arguments. hungry--spiritually (Mat 5:6).

Versículo 7

VI. churl--"the fraudulent"; this verse refers to the last clause of Isa 32:5; as Isa 32:6 referred t…

churl--"the fraudulent"; this verse refers to the last clause of Isa 32:5; as Isa 32:6 referred to its first clause. speaketh right--pleadeth a just cause (Isa 29:21); spiritually, "the poor man's cause" is the divine doctrine, his rule of faith and practice.

Versículo 8

VII. liberal--rather, "noble-minded."

liberal--rather, "noble-minded." stand--shall be approved under the government of the righteous King.

Versículo 9

Address to the women of Jerusalem who troubled themselves little about the political signs of the times, but lived a life of self-indulgence (Isa 3:16-23); the failure of food through the devastations of the enemy is here foretold, being what was most likely to affect them as mothers of families, heretofore accustomed to every luxury. VITRINGA understands "women--daughters" as the cities and villages of Judea (Eze. 16:1-63). See Amo 6:1.

Versículo 10

IX. Many days and years--rather, "In little more than a year" [MAURER]; literally, "days upon a year"…

Many days and years--rather, "In little more than a year" [MAURER]; literally, "days upon a year" (so Isa 29:1). vintage shall fail--through the arrival of the Assyrian invader. As the wheat harvest is omitted, Isaiah must look for the invasion in the summer or autumn of 714 B.C., when the wheat would have been secured already, and the later fruit "gathering," and vintage would be still in danger.

Versículo 11

X. strip you--of your gay clothing. (See Isa 2:19, Isa 2:21).

strip you--of your gay clothing. (See Isa 2:19, Isa 2:21).

Versículo 12

XI. lament for . . . teats--rather, shall smite on their breasts in lamentation "for thy pleasant fie…

lament for . . . teats--rather, shall smite on their breasts in lamentation "for thy pleasant fields" (Nah 2:7) [MAURER]. "Teats" in English Version is used for fertile lands, which, like breasts, nourish life. The transition from "ye" to "they" (Isa 32:11-12) is frequent.

Versículo 13

XII. (Isa 5:6; Isa 7:23).

(Isa 5:6; Isa 7:23). houses of joy--pleasure-houses outside of Jerusalem, not Jerusalem itself, but other cities destroyed by Sennacherib in his march (Isa 7:20-25). However, the prophecy, in its full accomplishment, refers to the utter desolation of Judea and its capital by Rome, and subsequently, previous to the second coming of the King (Psa 118:26; Luk 13:35; Luk 19:38); "the joyous city" is in this view, Jerusalem (Isa 22:2).

Versículo 14

XIII. palaces--most applicable to Jerusalem (see on Isa 32:13).

palaces--most applicable to Jerusalem (see on Isa 32:13). multitude . . . left--the noisy din of the city, that is, the city with its noisy multitude shall lie forsaken [MAURER]. forts--rather, "Ophel" (that is, the mound), the term applied specially to the declivity on the east of Zion, surrounded with its own wall (Ch2 27:3; Ch2 33:14; Kg2 5:24), and furnished with "towers" (or watchtowers), perhaps referred to here (Neh 3:26-27). for ever--limited by thee, "until," &c., Isa 32:15, for a long time.

Versículo 15

XIV. This can only partially apply to the spiritual revival in Hezekiah's time; its full accomplishmen…

This can only partially apply to the spiritual revival in Hezekiah's time; its full accomplishment belongs to the Christian dispensation, first at Pentecost (Joe 2:28; Act 2:17), perfectly in coming times (Psa 104:30; Eze 36:26; Eze 39:29; Zac 12:10), when the Spirit shall be poured on Israel, and through it on the Gentiles (Mic 5:7). wilderness . . . fruitful field . . . forest--when Judea, so long waste, shall be populous and fruitful, and the land of the enemies of God shall be desolate. Or, "the field, now fruitful, shall be but as a barren forest in comparison with what it shall be then" (Isa 29:17). The barren shall become fruitful by regeneration; those already regenerate shall bring forth fruits in such abundance that their former life shall seem but as a wilderness where no fruits were.

Versículo 16

XV. judgment--justice.

judgment--justice. wilderness--then reclaimed. fruitful field--then become more fruitful (Isa 32:15); thus "wilderness" and "fruitful field" include the whole land of Judea.

Versículo 17

16. work--the effect (Pro 14:34; Jam 3:18).

work--the effect (Pro 14:34; Jam 3:18). peace--internal and external.

Versículo 18

17. sure . . . quiet--free from fear of invasion.

sure . . . quiet--free from fear of invasion.

Versículo 19

18. Literally, "But it shall hail with coming down of the forest, and in lowness shall the city (Nine…

Literally, "But it shall hail with coming down of the forest, and in lowness shall the city (Nineveh) be brought low; that is, humbled." The "hail" is Jehovah's wrathful visitation (Isa 30:30; Isa 28:2, Isa 28:17). The "forest" is the Assyrian host, dense as the trees of a forest (Isa 10:18-19, Isa 10:33-34; Zac 11:2).

Versículo 20

19. While the enemy shall be brought "low," the Jews shall cultivate their land in undisturbed prospe…

While the enemy shall be brought "low," the Jews shall cultivate their land in undisturbed prosperity. all waters--well-watered places (Isa 30:25). The Hebrew translation, "beside," ought rather to be translated, "upon" (Ecc 11:1), where the meaning is, "Cast thy seed upon the waters when the river overflows its banks; the seed will sink into the mud and will spring up when the waters subside, and you will find it after many days in a rich harvest." Before sowing, they send oxen, &c., into the water to tread the ground for sowing. CASTALIO thinks there is an allusion to the Mosaic precept, not to plough with an ox and ass together, mystically implying that the Jew was to have no intercourse with Gentiles; the Gospel abolishes this distinction (Col 3:11); thus the sense here is, Blessed are ye that sow the gospel seed without distinction of race in the teachers or the taught. But there is no need of supposing that the ox and ass here are yoked together; they are probably "sent forth" separately, as in Isa 30:24. Next: Isaiah Chapter 33
