ISRAEL'S GLORY AFTER HER AFFLICTION. (Isa. 60:1-22) Arise--from the dust in which thou hast been sitting as a mourning female captive (Isa 3:26; Isa 52:1-2). shine--or, "be enlightened; for thy light cometh"; impart t…
1Levántate, resplandece; porque ha venido tu luz, y la gloria de Jehová ha nacido sobre ti.
2Porque he aquí que tinieblas cubrirán la tierra, y oscuridad las naciones; mas sobre ti amanecerá Jehová, y sobre ti será vista su gloria.
3Y andarán las naciones a tu luz, y los reyes al resplandor de tu nacimiento.
4Alza tus ojos alrededor y mira, todos estos se han juntado, vinieron a ti; tus hijos vendrán de lejos, y tus hijas serán llevadas en brazos.
5Entonces verás, y resplandecerás; se maravillará y ensanchará tu corazón, porque se haya vuelto a ti la multitud del mar, y las riquezas de las naciones hayan venido a ti.
6Multitud de camellos te cubrirá; dromedarios de Madián y de Efa; vendrán todos los de Sabá; traerán oro e incienso, y publicarán alabanzas de Jehová.
7Todo el ganado de Cedar será juntado para ti; carneros de Nebaiot te serán servidos; serán ofrecidos con agrado sobre mi altar, y glorificaré la casa de mi gloria.
8¿Quiénes son estos que vuelan como nubes, y como palomas a sus ventanas?
9Ciertamente a mí esperarán los de la costa, y las naves de Tarsis desde el principio, para traer tus hijos de lejos, su plata y su oro con ellos, al nombre de Jehová tu Dios, y al Santo de Israel, que te ha glorificado.
10Y extranjeros edificarán tus muros, y sus reyes te servirán; porque en mi ira te castigué, mas en mi buena voluntad tendré de ti misericordia.
11Tus puertas estarán de continuo abiertas; no se cerrarán de día ni de noche, para que a ti sean traídas las riquezas de las naciones, y conducidos a ti sus reyes.
12Porque la nación o el reino que no te sirviere perecerá, y del todo será asolado.
13La gloria del Líbano vendrá a ti, cipreses, pinos y bojes juntamente, para decorar el lugar de mi santuario; y yo honraré el lugar de mis pies.
14Y vendrán a ti humillados los hijos de los que te afligieron, y a las pisadas de tus pies se encorvarán todos los que te escarnecían, y te llamarán Ciudad de Jehová, Sion del Santo de Israel.
15En vez de estar abandonada y aborrecida, tanto que nadie pasaba por ti, haré que seas una gloria eterna, el gozo de todos los siglos.
16Y mamarás la leche de las naciones, el pecho de los reyes mamarás; y conocerás que yo Jehová soy el Salvador tuyo y Redentor tuyo, el Fuerte de Jacob.
17En vez de bronce traeré oro, y por hierro plata, y por madera bronce, y en lugar de piedras hierro; y pondré paz por tu tributo, y justicia por tus opresores.
18Nunca más se oirá en tu tierra violencia, destrucción ni quebrantamiento en tu territorio, sino que a tus muros llamarás Salvación, y a tus puertas Alabanza.
19El sol nunca más te servirá de luz para el día, ni el resplandor de la luna te alumbrará, sino que Jehová te será por luz perpetua, y el Dios tuyo por tu gloria.
20No se pondrá jamás tu sol, ni menguará tu luna; porque Jehová te será por luz perpetua, y los días de tu luto serán acabados.
21Y tu pueblo, todos ellos serán justos, para siempre heredarán la tierra; renuevos de mi plantío, obra de mis manos, para glorificarme.
22El pequeño vendrá a ser mil, el menor, un pueblo fuerte. Yo Jehová, a su tiempo haré que esto sea cumplido pronto.

Lift up . . . eyes--Jerusalem is addressed as a female with eyes cast down from grief.
all they . . . they--The Gentile peoples come together to bring back the dispersed Hebrews, restore their city, and worship Jehovah with offerings.
nursed at thy side--rather "carried at thy side." It is the custom in the East to carry the children astride on the hip, with the arms around the body (Isa 66:12).
IV
Versículo 5
IV. see-- (Isa 60:4), namely, the bringing back of thy sons.

flow together--rather, "overflow with joy" [LOWTH]; or, from a different Hebrew root, "be bright with joy" [GESENIUS] (Job 3:4).
fear--rather, beat with the agitation of solemn joy at the marvellous sight [HORSLEY] (Jer 33:9).
be enlarged--swell with delight. Grief, on the contrary, contracts the heart.
abundance of . . . sea--the wealth of the lands beyond the sea, as in Solomon's time, the type of the coming reign of the Prince of peace.
converted--rather, "be turned," instead of being turned to purposes of sin and idolatry.
forces--rather, "riches."

camels--laden with merchandise; the camel is "the ship of the desert" (compare Isa 30:6).
cover thee--so many of them shall there be.
dromedaries--They have one hunch on the back, whereas the camel has two: distinguished for swiftness (Jer 2:23).
Midian--east of the Elanitic branch of the Red Sea, and stretching northward along Mount Seir. Associated with the Ishmaelites in traffic (Gen 37:25, Gen 37:28).

Nebaioth--son of Ishmael, as was Kedar. Father of the Nabatheans in Arabia-PetrÃ&brvbra.
minister--by coming up as an acceptable sacrifice.
come up with acceptance--that is, acceptably. The rams offering themselves voluntarily (Psa 68:30; Rom 12:1; Pe1 2:5), without waiting for any other priest, answer to believers strong in faith and lamb-like meekness; and in the white fleece-like robe of sanctity [VITRINGA].
house of my glory--the temple (Eze. 41:1-26; Hag 2:7, Hag 2:9; Mal 3:1).

Tarshish first--The ships of Tartessus (see on Isa 2:16; Isa 23:1, that is, vessels that trade to the most distant regions) will be among the foremost to bring back the scattered Israelites (Isa 66:20).
their silver--The nations among whom the Jews have been scattered shall help them with their money in returning (Isa 60:5-7, Isa 60:11, Isa 60:16), as was the case at the return from Babylon (Ezr 1:4; compare Psa 68:30-31).

(Rev 21:25). The gates are ever open to receive new offerings and converts (Isa 26:2; Act 14:27; Rev 3:8). In time of peace the gates of a city are open: so, under the Prince of peace, there shall be no need of barring gates against invaders.
forces--riches.
be brought--as willing captives to the truth; or, if not willingly, be bought by judgments to submit to Israel (Isa 60:12, Isa 60:14). GESENIUS explains it, "may come escorted by a retinue."

fir . . . pine . . . box--rather, "the cypress . . . ilex . . . cedar."
place of my sanctuary--Jerusalem (Jer 3:17).
place of my feet--no longer the ark (Jer 3:16), "the footstool" of Jehovah (Psa 99:5; Psa 132:7; Ch1 28:2); but "the place of His throne, the place of the soles of His feet, where He will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever," in the new temple (Eze 43:7).

Poetically, with figurative allusion to the furniture of the temple; all things in that happy age to come shall be changed for the better.

(Isa 2:4). Not only shall thy walls keep thee safe from foes, but "Salvation" shall serve as thy walls, converting thy foes into friends, and so ensuring thee perfect safety (Isa 26:1-2).
gates--once the scene of "destruction" when victorious foes burst through them (Neh 1:3); henceforth to be not only the scene of praises, but "Praise" itself; the "gates," as the place of public concourse, were the scene of thanksgivings (Ch2 31:2; Psa 9:14; Psa 24:7; Psa 100:4). "Judah," the favored tribe, means "praise."

work of my hands--the converted Israelites (Isa 29:23; Isa 45:11).
that I may be glorified--the final end of all God's gracious dealings (Isa 49:3; Isa 61:3).

little one--Even one, and that the smallest in number and rank, shall be multiplied a thousandfold in both respects (Mic 5:2; Mat 13:31-32).
his time--not our time; we might wish to hasten it, but it will come in due time, as in the case of Jesus' first coming (Gal 4:4); so in that of the restoration of Israel and the conversion of the world (Isa 66:8; Hab 2:3; Act 1:7; Heb 10:37).
Messiah announces His twofold commission to bring gospel mercy at His first coming, and judgments on unbelievers and comfort to Zion at His second coming (Isa 61:1-9); the language can be applied to Isaiah, comforting by his prophecies the exiles in Babylon, only in a subordinate sense.
