Isaías 1:6

6 Desde los pies hasta la cabeza, están llenos de golpes,
cubiertos de moretones, contusiones y heridas infectadas,
sin vendajes ni ungüentos que los alivien.

Isaías 1:6 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 1:6

From the sole of the foot even unto the head [there is] no
soundness in it
Every member of the body politic was afflicted in one way or another, or sadly infected with the disease of sin; see ( Psalms 28:3 ) . So the Targum,

``from the rest of the people, even unto the princes, there is none among them who is perfect in my fear;''

see ( Daniel 9:8 ) ( Jeremiah 8:10 ) [but] wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores;
to which either public calamities on a city or nation may be compared, ( Hosea 5:13 ) or the sins and transgressions both of single persons, and of whole bodies of men, ( Psalms 38:5 Psalms 38:7 ) . The Targum is,

``they are all stubborn and rebellious, they are defiled with sins as an ulcerous plaster.''

They have not been closed;
that is, the wounds and sores have not been healed; or "they have not been pressed" or "squeezed" ^F3, in order to get the purulent matter out of them: neither bound up;
with bands, after the matter is squeezed out, and a plaster laid on: neither mollified with ointment;
which is used for the supplying and healing of wounds; see ( Luke 10:34 ) . The sense either is, that they were not reformed by their afflictions; or that they did not repent of their sins, nor seek to God for healing and pardon, nor make use of any means for their more healthful state and condition. The Targum paraphrases the words thus,

``they do not leave their haughtinesses, nor are they desirous of repentance, nor have they any righteousness to protect them.''

Isaías 1:6 In-Context

4 ¡Qué nación tan pecadora,
pueblo cargado con el peso de su culpa!
Está lleno de gente malvada,
hijos corruptos que han rechazado al Señor
.
Han despreciado al Santo de Israel
y le han dado la espalda.

5 ¿Por qué buscar más castigo?
¿Se rebelarán para siempre?
Tienen la cabeza herida
y el corazón angustiado.

6 Desde los pies hasta la cabeza, están llenos de golpes,
cubiertos de moretones, contusiones y heridas infectadas,
sin vendajes ni ungüentos que los alivien.

7 Su país yace en ruinas,
y sus ciudades han sido incendiadas.
Los extranjeros saquean sus campos frente a sus propios ojos
y destruyen todo lo que ven a su paso.

8 La hermosa Jerusalén
está abandonada
como el refugio del cuidador en un viñedo,
como la choza en un campo de pepinos después de la cosecha,
como una ciudad indefensa y sitiada.
