Isaías 56:2

2 Bienaventurado el hombre que esto hiciere, y el hijo del hombre que esto abrazare: que guarda el sábado de profanarlo, y que guarda su mano de hacer todo mal.

Isaías 56:2 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 56:2

Blessed is the man that doth this
That does justice, and keeps judgment; he hereby exercises a good conscience both towards God and men; he enjoys communion with God in his ways, worship, and ordinances, he attends unto, and has an evidence of his right to eternal happiness: and the son of man that layeth hold on it;
on the salvation of Christ, and his righteousness; which supposes a sense of the insufficiency of a man's own righteousness, a view of the excellency and suitableness of Christ's righteousness; and is expressive of a strong act of faith upon it, embracing and retaining it as a man's own: that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it;
by doing any servile work on it, and attending to all religious duties, private or public. This is put for the whole of instituted worship under the Gospel dispensation, and for any day or time in which the church of Christ meet together for religious worship: and keepeth his hand from doing any evil;
committing any sin against God, or doing injury to the persons or properties of men, including the whole of moral duty.

Isaías 56:2 In-Context

1 ASI dijo Jehová: Guardad derecho, y haced justicia: porque cercana está mi salud para venir, y mi justicia para manifestarse.

2 Bienaventurado el hombre que esto hiciere, y el hijo del hombre que esto abrazare: que guarda el sábado de profanarlo, y que guarda su mano de hacer todo mal.

3 Y el hijo del extranjero, allegado á Jehová, no hable diciendo: Apartaráme totalmente Jehová de su pueblo. Ni diga el eunuco: He aquí yo soy árbol seco.

4 Porque así dijo Jehová á los eunucos que guardaren mis sábados, y escogieren lo que yo quiero, y abrazaren mi pacto:

5 Yo les daré lugar en mi casa y dentro de mis muros, y nombre mejor que el de hijos é hijas; nombre perpetuo les daré que nunca perecerá.
