Isaías 57:12

12 Yo declararé tu justicia y tus hechos, pero de nada te aprovecharán.

Isaías 57:12 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 57:12

I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works
For, notwithstanding all the idolatry, superstition, irreligion, and cruelty of the church of Rome, she makes large pretences to righteousness, by which she expects to be justified, and to merit eternal life, and even pretends to works of supererogation; but God will in due time make it clearly appear, both by the ministry of his faithful servants, which he has done in part already; and by his judgments that he will execute, that she has no righteousness; that what she calls so is no righteousness, but wickedness; and that her works she calls good works are bad ones, superstitious, idolatrous, and tyrannical: for they shall not profit thee;
secure from judgment here, or from wrath to come; nor justify before God, nor procure salvation and eternal life; but, on the contrary, shall bring deserved ruin and destruction, here and hereafter.

Isaías 57:12 In-Context

10 Te cansaste por lo largo de tu camino, pero no dijiste: "No hay esperanza." Hallaste nuevas fuerzas, por eso no desfalleciste.

11 ¿Y de quién te asustaste y tuviste miedo, cuando mentiste y no te acordaste de mí, ni pensaste en ello? ¿No es acaso porque he guardado silencio por mucho tiempo que no me temes?

12 Yo declararé tu justicia y tus hechos, pero de nada te aprovecharán.

13 Cuando clames, que tus ídolos te libren; pero a todos se los llevará el viento, un soplo los arrebatará. Pero el que en mí se refugie, heredará la tierra, y poseerá mi santo monte.

14 Y se dirá: Construid, construid, preparad el camino, quitad los obstáculos del camino de mi pueblo.
