Isaías 51:15

15 Porque yo soy el SEÑOR tu Dios, que agito el mar y hago bramar sus olas (el SEÑOR de los ejércitos es su nombre),

Isaías 51:15 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 51:15

But I am the Lord thy God that divided the sea, whose waves
roared
Referring to the dividing of the Red sea by a violent wind, at which time the waves of it doubtless roared till they were made to stand quietly, as a wall on the right and left, for the Israelites to pass through, as in ( Isaiah 51:10 ) . Or this is to be understood of the power of God at any time in stilling and quieting the sea when it rages; which signification the word F19 here used has, as Aben Ezra observes; which power is expressed by a rebuke or reproof of it. And so the Targum,

``I am the Lord thy God, that rebuketh the sea:''
and in like manner the Syriac version; see ( Psalms 106:9 ) ( Isaiah 50:2 ) with which compare ( Matthew 8:26 ) . Now he that can do, and oftentimes has done this, can rebuke, restrain, and still the fury of the oppressors, the rage of the persecutors, Rome Pagan or Papal, and deliver out of their hands, ( Psalms 65:7 ) : the Lord of hosts is his name:
the Lord of armies in heaven and earth, and therefore is able to do these things in a natural, civil, and religious sense.
FOOTNOTES:

F19 (egr) "qui tranquillat" Gakater; "faciens quiescere", so some in Vitringa; and the word has the signification of rest and quietness in ver 4.

Isaías 51:15 In-Context

13 ¿Has olvidado al SEÑOR, tu Hacedor, que extendió los cielos y puso los cimientos de la tierra, para que estés temblando sin cesar todo el día ante la furia del opresor, mientras éste se prepara para destruir? Pero ¿dónde está la furia del opresor?
14 El desterrado pronto será libertado, y no morirá en la cárcel, ni le faltará su pan.
15 Porque yo soy el SEÑOR tu Dios, que agito el mar y hago bramar sus olas (el SEÑOR de los ejércitos es su nombre),
16 y he puesto mis palabras en tu boca, y con la sombra de mi mano te he cubierto al establecer los cielos, poner los cimientos de la tierra y decir a Sion: "Tú eres mi pueblo."
17 ¡Despierta, despierta! Levántate, Jerusalén, tú, que has bebido de la mano del SEÑOR la copa de su furor, que has bebido el cáliz del vértigo hasta vaciarlo.
