Isaías 42:7

7 para abrir los ojos de los ciegos,para librar de la cárcel a los presos,y del calabozo a los que habitan en tinieblas.

Isaías 42:7 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 42:7

To open the blind eyes
Of the idolatrous Gentiles, who were spiritually blind, and knew not the wretchedness of their case; the exceeding sinfulness of sin; their need of a Saviour, and who he was; as they did, when their eyes were opened by means of the Gospel sent among them, through the energy of the divine Spirit; for this is a work of almighty power and efficacious grace: to bring out the prisoners from the prison;
who were concluded in sin, shut up in unbelief, and under the law, the captives of Satan, and held fast prisoners by him and their own lusts, under the dominion of which they were: and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house:
of sin, Satan, and the law; being under which, they were in a state of darkness and ignorance as to things divine and spiritual. The allusion is to prisons, which are commonly dark places. Vitringa, by the "prisoners", understands the Jews shut up under the law; and by those in "darkness" the Gentiles, destitute of all divine knowledge.

Isaías 42:7 In-Context

5 Así dice Dios, el SEÑOR,el que creó y desplegó los cielos;el que expandió la tierray todo lo que ella produce;el que da aliento al pueblo que la habita,y vida a los que en ella se mueven:

6 «Yo, el SEÑOR, te he llamado en justicia;te he tomado de la mano.Yo te formé, yo te constituícomo pacto para el pueblo,como luz para las naciones,

7 para abrir los ojos de los ciegos,para librar de la cárcel a los presos,y del calabozo a los que habitan en tinieblas.

8 »Yo soy el SEÑOR; ¡ese es mi nombre!No entrego a otros mi gloria,ni mi alabanza a los ídolos.

9 Las cosas pasadas se han cumplido,y ahora anuncio cosas nuevas;¡las anuncio antes que sucedan!»
