Isaías 40:4

4 Todo vale será levantado, e será abatido todo monte e todo outeiro; e o terreno acidentado será nivelado, e o que é escabroso, aplanado.

Isaías 40:4 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 40:4

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill
shall be made low
Which is not to be understood literally, but, as Kimchi says, parabolically and mystically: the meaning is, that in consequence of John's ministry, and our Lord's coming, such who were depressed and bowed down with the guilt of sin, and were low and humble in their own eyes, should be raised up and comforted; and that such who were elated with themselves, and their own righteousness, should be humbled; their pride and haughtiness should be brought down, and they treated with neglect and contempt, while great notice was taken of lowly minded ones; see ( Luke 14:11 ) and ( Luke 18:14 ) : and the crooked shall be straight and the rough places plain;
what before was dark and intricate in prophecy should now become clear; and such doctrines as were not so well understood should now become plain and easy.

Isaías 40:4 In-Context

2 Falai benignamente a Jerusalém, e bradai-lhe que já a sua malícia é acabada, que a sua iniqüidade está expiada e que já recebeu em dobro da mão do Senhor, por todos os seus pecados.

3 Eis a voz do que clama: Preparai no deserto o caminho do Senhor; endireitai no ermo uma estrada para o nosso Deus.

4 Todo vale será levantado, e será abatido todo monte e todo outeiro; e o terreno acidentado será nivelado, e o que é escabroso, aplanado.

5 A glória do Senhor se revelará; e toda a carne juntamente a verá; pois a boca do Senhor o disse.

6 Uma voz diz: Clama. Respondi eu: Que hei de clamar? Toda a carne é erva, e toda a sua beleza como a flor do campo.
