Jesaja 1:19

19 Wenn ihr willig seid und höret, so sollt ihr das Gute des Landes essen.

Jesaja 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.

Jesaja 1:19 In-Context

17 Lernet Gutes tun, trachtet nach Recht, leitet den Bedrückten; schaffet Recht der Waise, führet der Witwe Sache!

18 Kommt denn und laßt uns miteinander rechten, spricht Jehova. Wenn eure Sünden wie Scharlach sind, wie Schnee sollen sie weiß werden; wenn sie rot sind wie Karmesin, wie Wolle sollen sie werden.

19 Wenn ihr willig seid und höret, so sollt ihr das Gute des Landes essen.

20 Wenn ihr euch aber weigert und widerspenstig seid, so sollt ihr vom Schwerte verzehrt werden. Denn der Mund Jehovas hat geredet.

21 Wie ist zur Hure geworden die treue Stadt! Sie war voll Recht, Gerechtigkeit weilte darin, und jetzt Mörder!
