Isaías 11:5

5 La justicia será ceñidor de sus lomos, y la fidelidad ceñidor de su cintura.

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 Se deleitará en el temor del SEÑOR, y no juzgará por lo que vean sus ojos, ni sentenciará por lo que oigan sus oídos;

4 sino que juzgará al pobre con justicia, y fallará con equidad por los afligidos de la tierra; herirá la tierra con la vara de su boca, y con el soplo de sus labios matará al impío.

5 La justicia será ceñidor de sus lomos, y la fidelidad ceñidor de su cintura.

6 El lobo morará con el cordero, y el leopardo se echará con el cabrito; el becerro, el leoncillo y el animal doméstico andarán juntos , y un niño los conducirá.

7 La vaca y la osa pacerán, sus crías se echarán juntas, y el león, como el buey, comerá paja.
