Isaías 9:5

5 Porque todo calçado daqueles que andavam no tumulto, e toda capa revolvida em sangue serão queimados, servindo de pasto ao fogo.

Isaías 9:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 9:5

For every battle of the warrior [is] with confused noise,
&c.] With the sound of the trumpet and as now with beating of drums, and the huzzas and shoutings of the soldiers, the stamping and neighing of horses, the rushing of chariots, and rumbling of wheels, and the clashing of swords, spears, and shields, and these sometimes striking one against another ^F11: and garments rolled in blood;
of them that were slain in battle: but [this] shall be with burning [and] fuel of fire;
which refers either to the sudden destruction of the Midianites, or rather to the quick and easy conquest that Christ obtained over sin, Satan, the world, and death; which was as soon over as any combustible matter is burnt with fire. Some interpret this of the destruction of the devil, his angels, of antichrist, and all wicked men by fire, at the last day; and others think that this last clause is to be read in connection with the preceding: "and garments rolled in blood, which shall be for burning, the fuel of fire" ^F12; that is, which garments rolled in blood shall be burnt with fire, and utterly consumed; and so there be no more war, but perpetual peace. It was usual after victory to burn the armour and spoils of the enemy ^F13; or rather it may intend the burning love and flaming zeal and affection of Christ the Saviour, next described ( Isaiah 9:5 ) .

Isaías 9:5 In-Context

3 Tu multiplicaste este povo, a alegria lhe aumentaste; todos se alegrarão perante ti, como se alegram na ceifa e como exultam quando se repartem os despojos.

4 Porque tu quebraste o jugo da sua carga e o bordão do seu ombro, que é o cetro do seu opressor, como no dia de Midiã.

5 Porque todo calçado daqueles que andavam no tumulto, e toda capa revolvida em sangue serão queimados, servindo de pasto ao fogo.

6 Porque um menino nos nasceu, um filho se nos deu; e o governo estará sobre os seus ombros; e o seu nome será: Maravilhoso Conselheiro, Deus Forte, Pai Eterno, Príncipe da Paz.

7 Do aumento do seu governo e da paz não haverá fim, sobre o trono de Davi e no seu reino, para o estabelecer e o fortificar em retidão e em justiça, desde agora e para sempre; o zelo do Senhor dos exércitos fará isso.
