GOD'S REPLY IN JUSTIFICATION OF HIS DEALINGS WITH ISRAEL. (Isa. 65:1-25) I am sought--Hebrew, "I have granted access unto Me to them," &c. (so Eze 14:3, "Should I be inquired of"; Eph 2:18). found--Rom 10:20 renders t…
1Fui buscado por los que no preguntaban por mí; fui hallado por los que no me buscaban. Dije a gente que no invocaba mi nombre: Heme aquí, heme aquí.
2Extendí mis manos todo el día a pueblo rebelde, el cual anda por camino no bueno, en pos de sus pensamientos;
3pueblo que en mi rostro me provoca de continuo a ira, sacrificando en huertos, y quemando incienso sobre ladrillos;
4que se quedan en los sepulcros, y en lugares escondidos pasan la noche; que comen carne de cerdo, y en sus ollas hay caldo de cosas inmundas;
5que dicen: Estate en tu lugar, no te acerques a mí, porque soy más santo que tú; estos son humo en mi furor, fuego que arde todo el día.
6He aquí que escrito está delante de mí; no callaré, sino que recompensaré, y daré el pago en su seno
7por vuestras iniquidades, dice Jehová, y por las iniquidades de vuestros padres juntamente, los cuales quemaron incienso sobre los montes, y sobre los collados me afrentaron; por tanto, yo les mediré su obra antigua en su seno.
8Así ha dicho Jehová: Como si alguno hallase mosto en un racimo, y dijese: No lo desperdicies, porque bendición hay en él; así haré yo por mis siervos, que no lo destruiré todo.
9Sacaré descendencia de Jacob, y de Judá heredero de mis montes; y mis escogidos poseerán por heredad la tierra, y mis siervos habitarán allí.
10Y será Sarón para habitación de ovejas, y el valle de Acor para majada de vacas, para mi pueblo que me buscó.
11Pero vosotros los que dejáis a Jehová, que olvidáis mi santo monte, que ponéis mesa para la Fortuna, y suministráis libaciones para el Destino;
12yo también os destinaré a la espada, y todos vosotros os arrodillaréis al degolladero, por cuanto llamé, y no respondisteis; hablé, y no oísteis, sino que hicisteis lo malo delante de mis ojos, y escogisteis lo que me desagrada.
13Por tanto, así dijo Jehová el Señor: He aquí que mis siervos comerán, y vosotros tendréis hambre; he aquí que mis siervos beberán, y vosotros tendréis sed; he aquí que mis siervos se alegrarán, y vosotros seréis avergonzados;
14he aquí que mis siervos cantarán por júbilo del corazón, y vosotros clamaréis por el dolor del corazón, y por el quebrantamiento de espíritu aullaréis.
15Y dejaréis vuestro nombre por maldición a mis escogidos, y Jehová el Señor te matará, y a sus siervos llamará por otro nombre.
16El que se bendijere en la tierra, en el Dios de verdad se bendecirá; y el que jurare en la tierra, por el Dios de verdad jurará; porque las angustias primeras serán olvidadas, y serán cubiertas de mis ojos.
17Porque he aquí que yo crearé nuevos cielos y nueva tierra; y de lo primero no habrá memoria, ni más vendrá al pensamiento.
18Mas os gozaréis y os alegraréis para siempre en las cosas que yo he creado; porque he aquí que yo traigo a Jerusalén alegría, y a su pueblo gozo.
19Y me alegraré con Jerusalén, y me gozaré con mi pueblo; y nunca más se oirán en ella voz de lloro, ni voz de clamor.
20No habrá más allí niño que muera de pocos días, ni viejo que sus días no cumpla; porque el niño morirá de cien años, y el pecador de cien años será maldito.
21Edificarán casas, y morarán en ellas; plantarán viñas, y comerán el fruto de ellas.
22No edificarán para que otro habite, ni plantarán para que otro coma; porque según los días de los árboles serán los días de mi pueblo, y mis escogidos disfrutarán la obra de sus manos.
23No trabajarán en vano, ni darán a luz para maldición; porque son linaje de los benditos de Jehová, y sus descendientes con ellos.
24Y antes que clamen, responderé yo; mientras aún hablan, yo habré oído.
25El lobo y el cordero serán apacentados juntos, y el león comerá paja como el buey; y el polvo será el alimento de la serpiente. No afligirán, ni harán mal en todo mi santo monte, dijo Jehová.

Versículo 2
I. spread out . . . hands--inviting them earnestly (Pro 1:24).
spread out . . . hands--inviting them earnestly (Pro 1:24).
all . . . day--continually, late and early (Jer 7:13).
rebellious people--Israel, whose rebellion was the occasion of God's turning to the Gentiles (Rom 11:11-12, Rom 11:15).
way . . . not good--that is, the very reverse of good, very bad (Eze 36:31).

continually--answering to "all the day" (Isa 65:2). God was continually inviting them, and they continually offending Him (Deu 32:21).
to my face--They made no attempt to hide their sin (Isa 3:9). Compare "before Me" (Exo 20:3).
in gardens--(See on Isa 1:29; Isa 66:17; Lev 17:5).
altars of brick--Hebrew, "bricks." God had commanded His altars to be of unhewn stone (Exo 20:25). This was in order to separate them, even in external respects, from idolaters; also, as all chiselling was forbidden, they could not inscribe superstitious symbols on them as the heathen did. Bricks were more easily so inscribed than stone; hence their use for the cuneiform inscriptions at Babylon, and also for idolatrous altars. Some, not so well, have supposed that the "bricks" here mean the flat brick-paved roofs of houses on which they sacrificed to the sun, &c. (Kg2 23:12; Jer 19:13).

remain among . . . graves--namely, for purposes of necromancy, as if to hold converse with the dead (Isa 8:19-20; compare Mar 5:3); or, for the sake of purifications, usually performed at night among sepulchres, to appease the manes [MAURER].
monuments--Hebrew, "pass the night in hidden recesses," either the idol's inmost shrines ("consecrated precincts") [HORSLEY], where they used to sleep, in order to have divine communications in dreams [JEROME]; or better, on account of the parallel "graves," sepulchral caves [MAURER].
eat swine's flesh--To eat it at all was contrary to God's law (Lev 11:7), but it much increased their guilt that they ate it in idolatrous sacrifices (compare Isa 66:17). VARRO (On Agriculture, 2.4) says that swine were first used in sacrifices; the Latins sacrificed a pig to Ceres; it was also offered on occasion of treaties and marriages.
broth--so called from the "pieces" (Margin) or fragments of bread over which the broth was poured [GESENIUS]; such broth, made of swine's flesh, offered in sacrifice, was thought to be especially acceptable to the idol and was used in magic rites. Or, "fragments (pieces) of abominable foods," &c. This fourth clause explains more fully the third, as the second does the first [MAURER].
is in--rather, literally, "is their vessels," that is, constitute their vessels' contents. The Jews, in our Lord's days, and ever since the return from Babylon, have been free from idolatry; still the imagery from idolatrous abominations, as being the sin most loathsome in God's eyes and that most prevalent in Isaiah's time, is employed to describe the foul sin of Israel in all ages, culminating in their killing Messiah, and still rejecting Him.

(Mat 9:11; Luk 5:30; Luk 18:11; Jde 1:19). Applicable to the hypocritical self-justifiers of our Lord's time.
smoke--alluding to the smoke of their self-righteous sacrifices; the fire of God's wrath was kindled at the sight, and exhibited itself in the smoke that breathed forth from His nostrils; in Hebrew the nose is the seat of anger; and the nostrils distended in wrath, as it were, breathe forth smoke [ROSENMULLER] (Psa 18:8).

written before me--"it is decreed by Me," namely, what follows (Job 13:26), [MAURER]; or, their guilt is recorded before Me (compare Dan 7:10; Rev 20:12; Mal 3:16).
into . . . bosom-- (Psa 79:12; Jer 32:18; Luk 6:38). The Orientals used the loose fold of the garment falling on "the bosom" or lap, as a receptacle for carrying things. The sense thus is: I will repay their sin so abundantly that the hand will not be able to receive it; it will need the spacious fold on the bosom to contain it [ROSENMULLER]. Rather it is, "I will repay it to the very person from whom it has emanated." Compare "God did render the evil of the men of Shechem upon their heads" (Jdg 9:57; Psa 7:16) [GESENIUS].
VI
Versículo 7

Their sin had been accumulating from age to age until God at last repaid it in full.
mountains-- (Isa 57:7; Eze 18:6; Eze 20:27-28; Hos 4:13).
their--"Your" had preceded. From speaking to, He speaks of them; this implies growing alienation from them and greater distance.
work--the full recompense of their work (so Isa 49:4).
VII

new wine--as if some grapes having good wine-producing juice in them, be found in a cluster which the vinedresser was about to throw away as bad, and one saith, &c.
blessing--that is, good wine-producing juice (compare Jdg 9:13; Joe 2:14).
so--God will spare the godly "remnant," while the ungodly mass of the nation shall be destroyed (Isa 1:9; Isa 6:13; Isa 10:21; Isa 11:11-16).
my servants--the godly remnant. But HORSLEY, "for the sake of my servant, Messiah."

seed--"the holy seed" (Isa 6:13), a posterity from Jacob, designed to repossess the Holy Land, forfeited by the sin of the former Jews.

IX
Versículo 10

Sharon--(See on Isa 33:9; Isa 35:2).
Achor--meaning "trouble"; a valley near Jericho, so called from the trouble caused to Israel by Achan's sin (Jos 7:24). "The valley of Achor," proverbial for whatever caused calamity, shall become proverbial joy and prosperity (Hos 2:15).
X
Versículo 11
X. holy mountain--Moriah, on which the temple was.
holy mountain--Moriah, on which the temple was.
troop--rather "Gad," the Babylonian god of fortune, the planet Jupiter, answering to Baal or Bel; the Arabs called it "the Greater Good Fortune"; and the planet Venus answering to Meni, "the Lesser Good Fortune" [GESENIUS, KIMCHI, &c.]. Tables were laid out for their idols with all kinds of viands, and a cup containing a mixture of wine and honey, in Egypt especially, on the last day of the year [JEROME].
drink offering--rather, "mixed drink."
number--rather, "Meni"; as goddess of fortune she was thought to number the fates of men. VITRINGA understands Gad to be the sun; Meni the moon, or Ashtaroth or Astarte (Kg1 11:33).
XI
Versículo 12

number--"doom" you. Alluding to the "number," as Meni (Isa 65:11) means. Retribution in kind, the punishment answering to the sin (compare Ch2 36:14-17).
I called, ye . . . not answer--"I called," though "none had called" upon Me (Isa 64:7); yet even then none "answered" (Pro 1:24). Contrast with this God and His people's mutual fellowship in prayer (Isa 65:24).
XII
Versículo 13
XII. eat--enjoy all blessings from me (Sol 5:1).
eat--enjoy all blessings from me (Sol 5:1).
hungry-- (Amo 4:6; Amo 8:11). This may refer to the siege of Jerusalem under Titus, when 1,100,000 are said to have perished by famine; thus Isa 65:15 will refer to God's people without distinction of Jew and Gentile receiving "another name," namely, that of Christians [HOUBIGANT]. A further fulfilment may still remain, just before the creation of the "new heavens and earth," as the context, Isa 65:17, implies.
XIII

curse--The name of "Jew" has been for long a formula of execration (compare Jer 29:22); if one wishes to curse another, he can utter nothing worse than this, "God make thee what the Jew is!" Contrast the formula (Gen 48:20) [MAURER].
my chosen--the elect Church, gathered from Jews and Gentiles, called by "another name," Christians (Act 11:26). However (see on Isa 65:13), as "My chosen," or "elect," in Isa 65:3, refers to the "seed of Jacob," the believing Jews, hereafter about to possess their land (Isa 65:19, Isa 65:22), are ultimately meant by "My chosen," as contrasted with the unbelieving Jews ("ye"). These elect Jews shall be called by "another," or a new name, that is, shall no longer be "forsaken" of God for unbelief, but shall be His "delight" and "married" to Him (Isa 62:2, Isa 62:4).
thee--unbelieving Israel. Isaiah here speaks of God, whereas in the preceding sentences God Himself spake. This change of persons marks without design how completely the prophet realized God with him and in him, so that he passes, without formally announcing it, from God's words to his own, and vice versa, both alike being from God.
XV
Versículo 16
XV. That he--rather, "he who," &c.
That he--rather, "he who," &c.
blesseth, &c.-- (Psa 72:17; Jer 4:2).
God of truth--very God, as opposed to false gods; Hebrew, Amen: the very name of Messiah (Co2 1:20; Rev 3:14), faithful to His promises (Joh 1:17; Joh 6:32). Real, substantial, spiritual, eternal, as opposed to the shadowy types of the law.
sweareth, &c.--God alone shall be appealed to as God (Isa 19:18; Deu 6:13; Psa 63:11).
troubles--that is, sins, provocations [LOWTH]. Rather, calamities caused by your sins; so far from these visiting you again, the very remembrance of them is "hid from Mine eyes" by the magnitude of the blessings I will confer on you (Isa 65:17, &c.). [MAURER].
16
Versículo 17

As Caleb inherited the same land which his feet trod on (Deu 1:36; Jos 14:9), so Messiah and His saints shall inherit the renovated earth which once they trod while defiled by the enemy (Isa 34:4; Isa 51:16; Isa 66:22; Eze 21:27; Psa 2:8; Psa 37:11; Pe2 3:13; Heb 12:26-28 Rev 21:1).
not be remembered--See on Isa 65:16, note on "troubles"; the words here answer to "the former . . . forgotten," &c. The former sorrows of the earth, under the fall, shall be so far from recurring, that their very remembrance shall be obliterated by the many mercies I will bestow on the new earth (Rev. 21:4-27).

(Isa 62:5).

19
Versículo 20
19. The longevity of men in the first age of the world shall be enjoyed again.
The longevity of men in the first age of the world shall be enjoyed again.
thence--from that time forward.
infant of days--that is, an infant who shall only complete a few days; short-lived.
filled . . . days--None shall die without attaining a full old age.
child . . . die . . . hundred years--that is "he that dieth an hundred years old shall die a mere child" [LOWTH].
sinner . . . hundred . . . be accursed--"The sinner that dieth at an hundred years shall be deemed accursed," that is, his death at so early an age, which in those days the hundredth year will be regarded, just as if it were mere childhood, shall be deemed the effect of God's special visitation in wrath [ROSENMULLER]. This passage proves that the better age to come on earth, though much superior to the present will not be a perfect state; sin and death shall have place in it (compare Rev 20:7-8), but much less frequently than now.

(See on Isa 62:8; Amo 9:14).

21. They shall not experience the curse pronounced (Lev 26:16; Deu 28:30).
They shall not experience the curse pronounced (Lev 26:16; Deu 28:30).
tree--among the most long-lived of objects in nature. They shall live as long as the trees they "plant" (compare Isa 61:3, end of verse; Psa 92:12).
enjoy--Hebrew, "consume," "wear out"; they shall live to enjoy the last of it (Isa 62:9).
22
Versículo 23

bring forth for trouble--literally, "for terror," that is, "They shall not bring forth children for a sudden death" (Lev 26:16; Jer 15:8).
seed . . . blessed-- (Isa 61:9).
offspring with them-- (Hos 9:12). "Their offspring shall be with themselves" [MAURER]; not "brought forth" only to be cut off by "sudden death" (see the parallel clause).
23
Versículo 24
23. Contrast Isa 64:7, "none . . . calleth," &c.; and see on Isa 65:12, "I called, ye did not answer.…
Contrast Isa 64:7, "none . . . calleth," &c.; and see on Isa 65:12, "I called, ye did not answer." MAURER translates, "They shall hardly (literally, "not yet") call, when (literally, "and") I will answer; they shall be still speaking, when I will hear" (Psa 32:5; Dan 9:20-21).
24
Versículo 25
24. (See on Isa 11:6).
(See on Isa 11:6).
and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock--(See on Isa 11:7).
and dust--rather, "but dust," &c. The curse shall remain on the serpent [HORSLEY], (Gen 3:14; Mic 7:17). "To lick the dust" is figurative of the utter and perpetual degradation of Satan and his emissaries (Isa 49:23; Psa 72:9). Satan fell self-tempted; therefore no atonement was contrived for him, as there was for man, who fell by his temptation (Jde 1:6; Joh 8:44). From his peculiar connection with the earth and man, it has been conjectured that the exciting cause of his rebellion was God's declaration that human nature was to be raised into union with the Godhead; this was "the truth" concerning the person of the Son of God which "he abode not in"; it galled his pride that a lower race was to be raised to that which he had aspired to (Ti1 3:6). How exultingly he might say, when man fell through him, "God would raise manhood into union with Himself; I have brought it down below the beasts by sin!" At that very moment and spot he was told that the seed of the abhorred race, man, should bruise his head (Jo1 3:8). He was raised up for this, to show forth God's glory (Exo 9:16; Rom 9:17). In his unfallen state he may have been God's vicegerent over the earth and the animal kingdom before man: this will account for his assuming the form of a serpent (Gen 3:1). Man succeeded to that office (Gen 2:19-20), but forfeited it by sin, whence Satan became "prince of this world"; Jesus Christ supplants the usurper, and as "Son of man" regains the lost inheritance (Psa 8:4-8). The steps in Satan's overthrow are these: he is cast out, first, from heaven (Rev 12:7-9) on earth; next, he is bound a thousand years (Rev 20:2-3); finally, he is cast into the lake of fire for ever (Rev 20:10).
the serpent's meat--(See on Isa 11:8).
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain--(See on Isa 11:9).
This closing chapter is the summary of Isaiah's prophecies as to the last days, hence the similarity of its sentiments with what went before.
