Isaiah — Capítulo 52

Can God rescue us from the problems we face? Can he save us from oppressive world powers? Can he break the power of our sin and help us deal with its consequences? Isaiah answers these questions with a resounding yes! The prophet’s words sometimes overwhelm us with their beauty. At other times, his piercing words reveal our sin and drive us to our knees. Isaiah’s own ministry began with a visio…

1Despierta, despierta, vístete de poder, oh Sion; vístete tu ropa hermosa, oh Jerusalén, ciudad santa; porque nunca más vendrá a ti incircunciso ni inmundo.

2Sacúdete del polvo; levántate y siéntate, Jerusalén; suelta las ataduras de tu cuello, cautiva hija de Sion.

3Porque así dice Jehová: De balde fuisteis vendidos; por tanto, sin dinero seréis rescatados.

4Porque así dijo Jehová el Señor: Mi pueblo descendió a Egipto en tiempo pasado, para morar allá, y el asirio lo cautivó sin razón.

5Y ahora ¿qué hago aquí, dice Jehová, ya que mi pueblo es llevado injustamente? Y los que en él se enseñorean, lo hacen aullar, dice Jehová, y continuamente es blasfemado mi nombre todo el día.

6Por tanto, mi pueblo sabrá mi nombre por esta causa en aquel día; porque yo mismo que hablo, he aquí estaré presente.

7¡Cuán hermosos son sobre los montes los pies del que trae alegres nuevas, del que anuncia la paz, del que trae nuevas del bien, del que publica salvación, del que dice a Sion: Tu Dios reina!

8¡Voz de tus atalayas! Alzarán la voz, juntamente darán voces de júbilo; porque ojo a ojo verán que Jehová vuelve a traer a Sion.

9Cantad alabanzas, alegraos juntamente, soledades de Jerusalén; porque Jehová ha consolado a su pueblo, a Jerusalén ha redimido.

10Jehová desnudó su santo brazo ante los ojos de todas las naciones, y todos los confines de la tierra verán la salvación del Dios nuestro.

11Apartaos, apartaos, salid de ahí, no toquéis cosa inmunda; salid de en medio de ella; purificaos los que lleváis los utensilios de Jehová.

12Porque no saldréis apresurados, ni iréis huyendo; porque Jehová irá delante de vosotros, y os congregará el Dios de Israel.

13He aquí que mi siervo será prosperado, será engrandecido y exaltado, y será puesto muy en alto.

14Como se asombraron de ti muchos, de tal manera fue desfigurado de los hombres su parecer, y su hermosura más que la de los hijos de los hombres,

15así asombrará él a muchas naciones; los reyes cerrarán ante él la boca, porque verán lo que nunca les fue contado, y entenderán lo que jamás habían oído.

52:1 This second call to wake up (see 51:17) was in preparation for a glorious future. • holy city: The new city would be holy because its citizens would be holy (see 4:3). • enter your gates no longer: Things that are unclean will not be permitted to enter the holy city (see Rev 21:27).

52:3 I sold you into exile . . . Now I can redeem you: The Lord was fully in control when he gave his people into the hands of their enemies. Likewise, he remained fully in control and could redeem them if he chose to do so.

52:5 The oppressors would shout in exultation because they believed they had conquered not only Israel but also its God. • My name is blasphemed all day long: The condition of God’s people affects God’s reputation in the eyes of the watching world (see 37:6, 23; 48:11).

52:6 Just as God did to Moses before the Exodus (Exod 3:15), he will reveal himself in the coming rescue from exile.

52:7-12 This is a poetic description of God’s promise to rescue his people from the alienation their sin created. The imagery is of a besieged city waiting for word that its hero has defeated the enemy armies. Paul applies these words to the proclamation of the Good News of the Lord Jesus (Rom 10:15). 52:7 How beautiful on the mountains: See Nah 1:15; Rom 10:15. • The good news goes beyond proclaiming an end to the Exile; it also points to the peace and salvation of the age to come (Isa 54:13-14; see 40:9-10; 41:27).

Versículo 8

52:8 The watchmen were those looking for the news of Zion’s redemption. • the Lord returning to Jerusalem: The sin of the city’s inhabitants had driven God away.

52:10 victory of our God: The rescue of God’s people from disgrace foreshadows an even greater victory when God will reign victoriously to the ends of the earth (note the many similarities with Ps 98:1-3).

52:11-12 This is an exhortation to leave the captivity of sin (see 48:20 on leaving physical captivity in Babylon). See also 2 Cor 6:17; 2 Tim 2:19. 52:11 Here the imagery of leaving the unclean enemy city encourages the people to purify themselves by turning away from all known sin. Those who carry home the sacred objects of the Lord need to be pure.

52:12 not leave in a hurry: At the time of the Exodus the people had to leave quickly (see Exod 12:11, 31-36). Isaiah drew this contrast to emphasize the newness of God’s plan. • protect you from behind: See Exod 13:21; 14:19-20.

52:13–53:12 This is the fourth of four passages that speak about the promised servant (see study note on 42:1-4). The Hebrew poem is carefully constructed in five three-line stanzas. It begins with the servant’s exaltation (52:13), proceeds to his humiliation (52:14–53:9), and ends with his exaltation (53:10-12). The faithful servant’s suffering would bring reconciliation between God and humans. The Lord Jesus perfectly fulfilled this prophecy (see ch 40; Matt 8:17; Acts 8:30-35; Rom 10:15-17; 15:21; 1 Pet 2:24-25). 52:13 prosper . . . be highly exalted: The servant would be wise and successful, set apart with the great and noble. Similar terms describe God in 6:1 and 57:15.

52:14-15 Despite the servant’s greatness, the actual way he would appear on earth would shock people. 52:14 were amazed: No one expected that the rescuer would suffer and die.

52:15 startle many nations: They would be amazed that a rescuer would appear so weak and helpless and would stand speechless. • What they will see and what they will understand will be in complete contrast to anything they had previously imagined.
