Isaías 1:24

24 Por lo tanto, el Señor, el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales,
el Poderoso de Israel, dice:
«¡Me vengaré de mis enemigos
y a mis adversarios les daré su merecido!

Isaías 1:24 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 1:24

Therefore, saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty
One of Israel
All these names and titles, which are expressive of the majesty, power, and authority of God, are used to give the greater solemnity and weight to what follows; and to show that he is able to accomplish what he determines and threatens to do. Ah!
which is a particle, either expressive of grief at their wretched and miserable condition, or of indignation at their provoking sins and transgressions: I will ease me of mine adversaries;
or, "I will take comfort ^F14 of" them, by destroying them; expressing the pleasure and satisfaction he should take in avenging his justice on them: they had been a trouble to him, and had wearied him with their sins, and now he will ease himself of them by removing them. The Targum is,

``I will comfort the city of Jerusalem;''

not taking the sense of the words: and avenge me of mine enemies;
the Jews, who were enemies to Christ and his Gospel, and would not have him to reign over them, and which was the cause of the destruction of their city, temple, and nation; see ( Luke 19:14 Luke 19:27 Luke 19:42-44 ) .

Isaías 1:24 In-Context

22 Antes eras como la plata pura,
ahora te has vuelto como escoria sin valor.
Antes eras pura,
ahora eres como el vino diluido en agua.

23 Tus líderes son rebeldes,
compañeros de ladrones.
A todos ellos les encantan los sobornos
y exigen que se los den,
pero se niegan a defender la causa de los huérfanos
y a luchar por los derechos de las viudas.

24 Por lo tanto, el Señor, el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales,
el Poderoso de Israel, dice:
«¡Me vengaré de mis enemigos
y a mis adversarios les daré su merecido!

25 Levantaré el puño en tu contra;
te derretiré para sacarte la escoria
y te quitaré todas tus impurezas.

26 Otra vez te daré buenos jueces,
y consejeros sabios como los que antes tenías.
Entonces Jerusalén volverá a ser llamada Centro de Justicia
y Ciudad Fiel».
