Isaías 6:7-13

7 y con él tocó mi boca, y dijo: He aquí, esto ha tocado tus labios, y es quitada tu iniquidad y perdonado tu pecado.

8 Y oí la voz del Señor que decía: ¿A quién enviaré, y quién irá por nosotros? Entonces respondí: Heme aquí; envíame a mí.

9 Y El dijo: Ve, y di a este pueblo: "Escuchad bien, pero no entendáis; mirad bien, pero no comprendáis."

10 Haz insensible el corazón de este pueblo, endurece sus oídos, y nubla sus ojos, no sea que vea con sus ojos, y oiga con sus oídos, y entienda con su corazón, y se arrepienta y sea curado.

11 Entonces dije yo: ¿Hasta cuándo, Señor? Y El respondió: Hasta que las ciudades estén destruidas y sin habitantes, las casas sin gente, y la tierra completamente desolada;

12 hasta que el SEÑOR haya alejado a los hombres, y sean muchos los lugares abandonados en medio de la tierra.

13 Pero aún quedará una décima parte en ella, y ésta volverá a ser consumida como el terebinto o la encina, cuyo tronco permanece cuando es cortado: la simiente santa será su tronco.

Isaías 6:7-13 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 6

This chapter contains a vision of the glory and majesty of Christ, the mission and commission of the prophet, and the destruction of the Jews. In the vision may be observed the time of it, and the object seen; who is described by the throne on which he sat, Isa 6:1 and by his ministers about him; and these, by their name, by their situation, by their wings and the use of them, and by their employment, Isa 6:2,3 and by the effects their crying to one another had upon the place where they were, Isa 6:4 and next follows the effect the whole vision had on the prophet, which threw him into great distress of mind; and the relief he had by one of the seraphim, and the manner of it, Isa 6:6,7 upon which a question being put, concerning sending some person, the prophet makes answer, expressing his readiness to go, Isa 6:8 when a commission is given him, and the message he is sent with is declared, Isa 6:9,10 whereupon he asks how long it would be the case of the Jews mentioned in the message he was sent with; and he is told it would continue until the utter destruction of them, Isa 6:11,12 and yet, for the comfort of him and other saints, it is intimated that there would be a remnant among them, according to the election of grace, Isa 6:13.
