Isaías 1:19

19 Si queréis y obedecéis, comeréis lo mejor de la tierra;

Isaías 1:19 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 1:19

If ye be willing and obedient
The Targum adds, "to my Word": the Word made flesh, and dwelling among them; who would have gathered the inhabitants of Jerusalem to his ministry, to attend his word and ordinances, but their rulers would not: ye shall eat the good of the land;
the land of Canaan; as the Jews held the possession of that land, before the times of Christ, by their obedience to the laws of God, which were given them as a body politic, and which, so long as they observed, they were continued in the quiet and full enjoyment of all the blessings of it; so, when Christ came, had they received, embraced, and acknowledged him as the Messiah, and been obedient to his will, though only externally, they would have remained in their own land, and enjoyed all the good things in it undisturbed by enemies.

Isaías 1:19 In-Context

17 aprended a hacer el bien, buscad la justicia, reprended al opresor, defended al huérfano, abogad por la viuda.
18 Venid ahora, y razonemos dice el SEÑOR aunque vuestros pecados sean como la grana, como la nieve serán emblanquecidos; aunque sean rojos como el carmesí, como blanca lana quedarán.
19 Si queréis y obedecéis, comeréis lo mejor de la tierra;
20 pero si rehusáis y os rebeláis, por la espada seréis devorados. Ciertamente, la boca del SEÑOR ha hablado.
21 ¡Cómo se ha convertido en ramera la ciudad fiel, la que estaba llena de justicia! Moraba en ella la rectitud, mas ahora, asesinos.
