Isaías 60:15

15 Ao invés de seres abandonada e odiada como eras, de sorte que ninguém por ti passava, far-te-ei uma excelência perpétua, uma alegria de geração em geração.

Isaías 60:15 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 60:15

Whereas thou hast been forsaken
Seemingly forsaken of God; thought to be so by herself, which was matter of complaint; and by her enemies, which to them was matter of joy; the Lord not appearing for her immediate relief, and for her deliverance out of the hands of her persecutors: and hated:
of all men, of wicked and profane sinners, and of carnal professors, and especially of the antichristian party: so that no man went through thee;
very few passengers in Zion's ways; few asked the way to her, or joined themselves in fellowship and worship with her. Jacob was small; the number of converts exceeding few: I will make thee an eternal excellency;
the saints are the excellent in the earth, in the esteem of God and Christ; they, are their jewels and peculiar treasure, having the excellent graces of the Spirit of God in them; and the excellent robe of Christ's righteousness on them; an excellent knowledge of divine and spiritual things; an excellent spirit of love and unity; and an excellent order and discipline maintained among them; as well as excellent truths preached, and ordinances administered to them; all which shall continue, being made clearly to appear to be their case: the joy of many generations; of age and age
^F5; or, as the Targum,

``the house of joy of generation and generation;''

that is, the church will be the joy of God and Christ, of the saints, and of the whole world, age after age, for a long period of time: see ( Isaiah 65:18 Isaiah 65:19 ) there seems to be some respect to ( Psalms 48:2 ) .

Isaías 60:15 In-Context

13 A glória do Líbano virá a ti; a faia, o olmeiro, e o buxo conjuntamente, para ornarem o lugar do meu santuário; e farei glorioso o lugar em que assentam os meus pés.

14 Também virão a ti, inclinando-se, os filhos dos que te oprimiram; e prostrar-se-ão junto �s plantas dos teus pés todos os que te desprezaram; e chamar-te-ão a cidade do Senhor, a Sião do Santo de Israel.

15 Ao invés de seres abandonada e odiada como eras, de sorte que ninguém por ti passava, far-te-ei uma excelência perpétua, uma alegria de geração em geração.

16 E mamarás o leite das nações, e te alimentarás ao peito dos reis; assim saberás que eu sou o Senhor, o teu Salvador, e o teu Redentor, o Poderoso de Jacó.

17 Por bronze trarei ouro, por ferro trarei prata, por madeira bronze, e por pedras ferro; farei pacíficos os teus oficiais e justos os teus exatores.
