Isaías 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.

Isaías 1:19 In-Context

17 Aprendan a hacer el bien.
Busquen la justicia
y ayuden a los oprimidos.
Defiendan la causa de los huérfanos
y luchen por los derechos de las viudas.

18 »Vengan ahora. Vamos a resolver este asunto
—dice el Señor
—.
Aunque sus pecados sean como la escarlata,
yo los haré tan blancos como la nieve.
Aunque sean rojos como el carmesí,
yo los haré tan blancos como la lana.

19 Si tan solo me obedecen,
tendrán comida en abundancia.

20 Pero si se apartan y se niegan a escuchar,
la espada de sus enemigos los devorará.
¡Yo, el Señor
, he hablado!».

21 Jerusalén, la infiel
Miren cómo Jerusalén, que antes era tan fiel,
se ha convertido en una prostituta.
Antes era el centro de la justicia y la rectitud,
pero ahora está repleta de asesinos.
