8 Cercano está el que me justifica; ¿quién contenderá conmigo? Comparezcamos juntos; ¿quién es el enemigo de mi causa? Que se acerque a mí.

Isaías 50:8 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 50:8

He is near that justifieth me
His Father was "near" him in his whole state of humiliation; he left him not alone; he was at his right hand, and therefore he was not moved; and "justified" him from all the calumnies of his enemies, or the false charges they brought against him, and from all the sins of his people that were upon him; these he took upon him, and bore them, and made satisfaction for them, upon which he was acquitted; and which is evident by his resurrection from the dead, by his ascension to heaven, and session at the right hand of God; and by the gifts of the Spirit, extraordinary and ordinary, he received for men, and gave unto them; see ( 1 Timothy 3:16 ) . Who will contend with me?
being thus acquitted; will the law and justice of God litigate the point with him? they are both satisfied; will Satan dispute the matter with him? he is foiled, conquered, and destroyed; or will the wicked Jews enter the argument with him? wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. Let us stand together;
face to face, if they dare; let them face me, if they can: who is mine adversary?
let him appear, that he may be known: let him come near to me:
and engage with me, if he has courage or skill. This is bidding defiance to all his enemies, and triumphing over them.

Isaías 50:8 In-Context

6 Di mis espaldas a los que me herían, y mis mejillas a los que me arrancaban la barba; no escondí mi rostro de injurias y esputos.

7 El Señor DIOS me ayuda, por eso no soy humillado, por eso como pedernal he puesto mi rostro, y sé que no seré avergonzado.

8 Cercano está el que me justifica; ¿quién contenderá conmigo? Comparezcamos juntos; ¿quién es el enemigo de mi causa? Que se acerque a mí.

9 He aquí, el Señor DIOS me ayuda; ¿quién es el que me condena? He aquí, todos ellos como un vestido se gastarán, la polilla se los comerá.

10 ¿Quién hay entre vosotros que tema al SEÑOR, que oiga la voz de su siervo, que ande en tinieblas y no tenga luz? Confíe en el nombre del SEÑOR y apóyese en su Dios.
