Isaías 65:10

10 Sarón será pastizal para ovejas, y el valle de Acor para lugar de descanso de vacas, para mi pueblo que me busca.

Isaías 65:10 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 65:10

And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks
This was a champaign country about Joppa and Lydda, in which were rich pastures for herds and flocks, ( 1 Chronicles 27:29 ) , it seems to be a prophecy of the conversion of some in those parts, which had its accomplishment in the times of the apostles, ( Acts 9:35 ) , here Christ had his sheep, and here was a fold for them; or, however, this may be expressive of the word and ordinances, which are like Sharon, green and fat pastures, for the flocks of Christ to be folded and fed in: and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in;
which, Aben Ezra says, was round about Jerusalem; but it was the valley in which Achan was stoned, and because of the trouble he gave to Israel, and had himself, it was called the valley of Achor, ( Joshua 7:26 ) , this the Lord promises shall be given for a door of hope, ( Hosea 2:15 ) and such the word and ordinances are, where Christ causes his church and people to lie down and rest, ( Song of Solomon 1:7 Song of Solomon 1:8 ) ( Psalms 23:2 ) and which are an earnest and pledge of future glory and happiness, and give hope thereof; are the firstfruits of it, as the valley of Achor is said to be the first place the children of Israel set footing on, when they had passed over Jordan; it lay to the north of Jericho, over against Ai: for my people that have sought me;
with their whole hearts, being first sought and found by him; (See Gill on Isaiah 65:1).

Isaías 65:10 In-Context

8 Así dice el SEÑOR: Como cuando se encuentra mosto en el racimo y alguien dice: "No lo destruyas, porque en él hay bendición", así haré yo por mis siervos para no destuirlos a todos.
9 Sacaré de Jacob descendencia y de Judá heredero de mis montes; mis escogidos la heredarán, y mis siervos morarán allí.
10 Sarón será pastizal para ovejas, y el valle de Acor para lugar de descanso de vacas, para mi pueblo que me busca.
11 Pero vosotros que abandonáis al SEÑOR, que olvidáis mi santo monte, que ponéis mesa para la Fortuna, y que preparáis vino mezclado para el Destino,
12 yo os destinaré a la espada, y todos vosotros os encorvaréis para la matanza. Porque llamé, mas no respondisteis, hablé, mas no oísteis; hicisteis lo malo ante mis ojos y escogisteis aquello que no me complacía.
