Isaías 49:17

17 Tus edificadores se apresuran; tus destructores y tus devastadores se alejarán de ti.

Isaías 49:17 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 49:17

Thy children shall make haste
Regenerate persons, young converts, such as are born again of incorruptible seed by the word; these shall flock to the church, as doves to the windows;
join themselves to her, and submit to Gospel ordinances, and make haste, and delay not, to keep the Lord's commandments;
which is no small pleasure, joy, and comfort to the church of God. Some render it, "thy builders" F13 "shall make haste"; Gospel ministers, who are wise masterbuilders under Christ; these shall come with all readiness and cheerfulness, and build in the temple, the church of God, and rebuild her walls, and repair her breaches: thy destroyers and they that made thee waste, shall go forth of thee;
tyrants and persecutors of the church shall cease, and be no more; and false teachers, that corrupt the minds of men, subvert their faith, and destroy their souls, as antichrist and his ministers, shall be drove out of the church, and destroyed by Christ, the Head of it; see ( Revelation 11:18 ) ( 1 John 2:19 ) .

Isaías 49:17 In-Context

15 ¿Puede una mujer olvidar a su niño de pecho, sin compadecerse del hijo de sus entrañas? Aunque ellas se olvidaran, yo no te olvidaré.
16 He aquí, en las palmas de mis manos, te he grabado; tus muros están constantemente delante de mí.
17 Tus edificadores se apresuran; tus destructores y tus devastadores se alejarán de ti.
18 Levanta en derredor tus ojos y mira: todos ellos se reúnen, vienen a ti. Vivo yodeclara el SEÑOR que a todos ellos como joyas te los pondrás, y te ceñirás con ellos como una novia.
19 En cuanto a tus lugares desiertos y desolados y tu tierra arruinada, ahora serás ciertamente demasiado estrecha para los moradores, y tus devoradores estarán muy lejos.
