Isaías 60:16 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 60:16

Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles
Partake of their riches and wealth; so the Targum,

``and ye shall be satisfied with the substance of the people:''

or drink of the sincere milk of the word of the Gospel, which Gentiles have been favoured with for many ages; for this seems to have regard to Jewish converts, though not to them only, but as they, with the converted Gentiles, will make up one church state, and partake of the same privileges: and shall suck the breast of kings;
who shall now be converted in various places, come into the church, and be nursing fathers to it; help and assist the people of God with their riches to carry on divine worship in an honourable manner; and to protect and defend them with their power; see ( Psalms 72:9 Psalms 72:10 ) ( Isaiah 49:23 ) ( 60:11 ) . The Targum is,

``in the spoil of kings ye shall delight yourselves;''

and it may also design the breasts of consolation, the ordinances of the Gospel, such as Christian kings will suck, and Jews and Gentiles shall do the same, ( Isaiah 66:11 ) , and thou shalt know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer,
the mighty One of Jacob;
the Jews, being called, shall seek the Lord their God, the true Messiah, and shall look unto him by faith, whom they have pierced; shall know, own, and acknowledge him to be their Redeemer and Saviour; who must be fit and qualified for such an office and work, and equal to it, being the mighty One of Jacob, whom before they and their ancestors rejected and despised.

Isaías 60:16 In-Context

14 Vendrán a ti humillados los hijos de los que te afligieron, se postrarán a las plantas de tus pies todos los que te despreciaban, y te llamarán Ciudad del SEÑOR, Sion del Santo de Israel.

15 Por cuanto tú estabas abandonada y aborrecida, sin que nadie pasara por ti, haré de ti gloria eterna, gozo de generación en generación.

16 Y mamarás la leche de las naciones, al pecho de los reyes mamarás; entonces sabrás que yo, el SEÑOR, soy tu Salvador y tu Redentor, el Poderoso de Jacob.

17 En vez de bronce, traeré oro, en vez de hierro, traeré plata, en vez de madera, bronce, y en vez de piedras, hierro. Pondré como tus administradores la paz, y como tus gobernantes la justicia.

18 No se oirá hablar más de violencia en tu tierra, ni de desolación, ni de destrucción dentro de tus límites; sino que llamarás a tus murallas salvación y a tus puertas alabanza.
