Isaías 44:21 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 44:21

Remember these, O Jacob, O Israel
Remember these persons, these idolaters before spoken of; or these things, the gross idolatries they were guilty of, and loath and abhor them, shun and avoid them, and not imitate them, and do the same things: or remember that this was formerly your case, and admire the distinguishing grace of God, in turning you from idols to serve him: for by Jacob and Israel may be meant the spiritual Israel of God, or those from among the Gentiles called by the grace of God, and incorporated into Christian churches; see ( Isaiah 44:5 ) : for thou art my servant:
I have formed thee; thou art my servant: and therefore should serve the Lord, and him only, and not idols, for no man can serve two masters; moreover, these were formed by the Spirit and grace of God in regeneration for his service, and therefore ought cheerfully to engage therein, and abide in it, and never serve any other: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me;
such as remember the Lord, and remember to serve him, he will remember, and not forget them, his love to them, his covenant with them, and the promises he has made them; he will not forget their persons, nor their service, their work and labour of love, which they have showed to his name. The Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions, render it, "do not forget me"; and so the Targum paraphrases it,

``do not forget my fears;''

to fear, serve, and worship the Lord, and him only; but Aben Ezra and Kimchi observe, it should be rendered as it is by our translators.

Isaías 44:21 In-Context

19 No torna en sí, no tiene sentido ni inteligencia para decir: Parte de ello quemé en el fuego, y sobre sus brasas cocí pan; asé carne, y comí: ¿lo que de él quedó he de tornar en abominación? ¿Delante de un tronco de árbol me tengo que humillar

20 La ceniza apacienta; su corazón engañado le inclina, para que no libre su alma, y diga, ¿No está la mentira a mi mano derecha

21 Acuérdate de estas cosas, oh Jacob, e Israel, que mi siervo eres: Yo te formé, mi siervo eres tú; Israel, no me olvides

22 Yo deshice, como nube, tus rebeliones, y tus pecados, como niebla; tórnate a mí, porque yo te redimí

23 Cantad loores, oh cielos, porque el SEÑOR lo hizo; gritad con júbilo, lugares bajos de la tierra. Prorrumpid, montes, en alabanza; bosque, y todo árbol que en él está ; porque el SEÑOR redimió a Jacob, y en Israel será glorificado
