Jesaja 35:3 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 35:3

Strengthen ye the weak hands
These are the words of the prophet, as the Targum,

``the prophet said, strengthen the weak hands;''
or rather of God, by the prophet, to the converted Gentiles, to those who saw the glory of the Lord; particularly to the ministers of the Gospel, who have to do with weak and feeble persons, who can scarcely lift up their hands, or stand upon their legs, under a sense of sin, in a view of wrath, and immediate ruin and destruction, ready to sink and faint, because of their enemies, or through want of food; and their business is to comfort and strengthen them, by preaching the Gospel, and pointing out the promises of it to them: and confirm the feeble knees;
that so they may keep their ground against their enemies; shake off their fears and trembling; go on their way courageously and rejoicing; run, and not be weary; walk, and not faint: "hands" and "knees" are mentioned particularly, because a man's strength lies greatly in them; and his weakness is seen by the languor and trembling of them.

2 Sie wird in voller Blüte stehen und frohlocken, ja, frohlockend und jubelnd; die Herrlichkeit des Libanon ist ihr gegeben, die Pracht des Karmel und Sarons: sehen werden sie die Herrlichkeit Jehovas, die Pracht unseres Gottes.
3 Stärket die schlaffen Hände und befestiget die wankenden Knie!
4 Saget zu denen, welche zaghaften Herzens sind: Seid stark, fürchtet euch nicht! Siehe, euer Gott kommt, Rache kommt, die Vergeltung Gottes! Er selbst kommt und wird euch retten.
5 Dann werden die Augen der Blinden aufgetan und die Ohren der Tauben geöffnet werden;
