Isaías 59:11

Listen to Isaías 59:11
11 Todos nosotros gruñimos como osos, y gemimos tristemente como palomas; esperamos la justicia, pero no la hay, la salvación, pero está lejos de nosotros.

Isaías 59:11 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 59:11

We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves
Some in a more noisy and clamorous, others in a stiller way, yet all in private: for the bear, when robbed of its whelps, goes to its den and roars; and the dove, when it has lost its mate, mourns in solitude: this expresses the secret groanings of the saints under a sense of sin, and the forlorn state of religion. The Targum paraphrases it thus,

``we roar because of our enemies, who are gathered against us as bears; all of us indeed mourn sore as doves:''
we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far
from us;
we expect that God will take vengeance on our enemies, and save us; look for judgment on antichrist, and the antichristian states, and for the salvation of the church of God; for the vials of divine wrath on the one, and for happy times to the other; but neither of them as yet come; the reason of which is as follows.

Isaías 59:11 In-Context

9 Por tanto el derecho está lejos de nosotros, y no nos alcanza la justicia; esperamos luz, y he aquí tinieblas, claridad, pero andamos en oscuridad.
10 Vamos palpando la pared como ciegos, y andamos a tientas como los que no tienen ojos; tropezamos al mediodía como al anochecer, entre los robustos somos como muertos.
11 Todos nosotros gruñimos como osos, y gemimos tristemente como palomas; esperamos la justicia, pero no la hay, la salvación, pero está lejos de nosotros.
12 Porque se han multiplicado nuestras transgresiones delante de ti, y nuestros pecados testifican contra nosotros; porque nuestras transgresiones están con nosotros, y conocemos nuestras iniquidades:
13 transgredir y negar al SEÑOR, apartarse de nuestro Dios, hablar de opresión y rebelión, concebir y proferir en el corazón palabras mentirosas.
