Isaías 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.

Isaías 35:3 In-Context

1 Se alegrarán el desierto y la soledad; el yermo se gozará, y florecerá como lirio

2 Florecerá profusamente, y también alabará y cantará con júbilo; la honra del Líbano le será dada, la hermosura del Carmelo y de Sarón. Ellos verán la gloria del SEÑOR, la hermosura del Dios nuestro

3 Confortad las manos cansadas, esforzad las rodillas que titubean

4 Decid a los medrosos de corazón: Confortaos, no temáis; he aquí que vuestro Dios viene con venganza, con pago, el mismo Dios vendrá, y os salvará

5 Entonces los ojos de los ciegos serán abiertos; y los oídos de los sordos se abrirán
