Isaías 57:3 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 57:3

But draw near hither
The death of the righteous, and their happiness after it, being observed: the wicked, who thought themselves safe from danger, and the happier that they were rid of the righteous, those witnesses and prophets which had tormented them, and therefore rejoiced on that account, are here summoned to the divine tribunal, to hear their character, and receive their doom, as follows: ye sons of the sorceress;
the children of Jezebel, the witch, and the prophetess that taught the servants of the Lord to commit fornication, and bewitched with her witchcrafts the sons of the apostate church of Rome; by whose sorceries all nations have been deceived, and of which she repents not, ( Revelation 2:20 ) ( 9:21 ) ( 18:23 ) : the seed of the adulterer and of the whore;
of the great whore of Babylon, with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication; and whose subjects and children are the seed of this whore, and the sons of this idolatrous church: or, "that committeth whoredom" ^F7; which aggravates the character, that they were not only the children of adulterous persons, but committed whoredom themselves.

Isaías 57:3 In-Context

1 La gente buena se muere;
muchas veces, los justos mueren antes de que llegue su hora.
Pero a nadie parece importarle el porqué, tampoco se lo preguntan a sí mismos.
Parece que nadie entiende
que Dios los está protegiendo del mal que vendrá.

2 Pues los que andan por el camino de la justicia
descansarán en paz cuando mueran.

3 Condenación de la idolatría
«¡Pero ustedes, vengan acá, hijos de brujas,
descendientes de adúlteros y de prostitutas!

4 ¿De quién se burlan
haciendo muecas y sacando la lengua?
¡Hijos de pecadores y mentirosos!

5 Rinden culto con gran pasión a sus ídolos,
debajo de los robles y debajo de todo árbol frondoso.
Sacrifican a sus hijos abajo, en los valles,
entre los peñascos de los acantilados.
