Isaías 11:5

5 A justiça será o cinto dos seus lombos, e a fidelidade o cinto dos seus rins.

Isaías 11:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 11:5

And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins
He shall be adorned with it, strengthened by it, and ready at all times to perform it; he loved righteousness, and did acts of righteousness throughout the whole course of his life; and, by his active and passive obedience, wrought out an everlasting righteousness for his people; he is a King that reigns in righteousness, righteousness is the sceptre of his kingdom; all his administrations of government are righteous; just and true are all his ways:

and faithfulness the girdle of his reins;
he was faithful to God, that appointed him as King and Head of the church; faithful as a Prophet, in declaring his mind and will; and is a faithful High Priest, as well as a merciful one. The Targum, interprets this of righteous and faithful men, thus,

``and the righteous shall be round about him, and they that work (the work) of faith shall draw nigh unto him;''

but it is said of a single person, of the Messiah only, to whom it properly belongs.

Isaías 11:5 In-Context

3 E deleitar-se-á no temor do Senhor; e não julgará segundo a vista dos seus olhos, nem decidirá segundo o ouvir dos seus ouvidos;

4 mas julgará com justiça os pobres, e decidirá com eqüidade em defesa dos mansos da terra; e ferirá a terra com a vara de sua boca, e com o sopro dos seus lábios matará o ímpio.

5 A justiça será o cinto dos seus lombos, e a fidelidade o cinto dos seus rins.

6 Morará o lobo com o cordeiro, e o leopardo com o cabrito se deitará; e o bezerro, e o leão novo e o animal cevado viverão juntos; e um menino pequeno os conduzirá.

7 A vaca e a ursa pastarão juntas, e as suas crias juntas se deitarão; e o leão comerá palha como o boi.
