Isaías 11:5

5 Llevará la justicia como cinturón
y la verdad como ropa interior.

Isaías 11:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 11:5

And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins
He shall be adorned with it, strengthened by it, and ready at all times to perform it; he loved righteousness, and did acts of righteousness throughout the whole course of his life; and, by his active and passive obedience, wrought out an everlasting righteousness for his people; he is a King that reigns in righteousness, righteousness is the sceptre of his kingdom; all his administrations of government are righteous; just and true are all his ways:

and faithfulness the girdle of his reins;
he was faithful to God, that appointed him as King and Head of the church; faithful as a Prophet, in declaring his mind and will; and is a faithful High Priest, as well as a merciful one. The Targum, interprets this of righteous and faithful men, thus,

``and the righteous shall be round about him, and they that work (the work) of faith shall draw nigh unto him;''

but it is said of a single person, of the Messiah only, to whom it properly belongs.

Isaías 11:5 In-Context

3 Él se deleitará en obedecer al Señor
;
no juzgará por las apariencias
ni tomará decisiones basadas en rumores.

4 Hará justicia a los pobres
y tomará decisiones imparciales con los que son explotados.
La tierra temblará con la fuerza de su palabra,
y bastará un soplo de su boca para destruir a los malvados.

5 Llevará la justicia como cinturón
y la verdad como ropa interior.

6 En ese día el lobo y el cordero vivirán juntos,
y el leopardo se echará junto al cabrito.
El ternero y el potro estarán seguros junto al león,
y un niño pequeño los guiará a todos.

7 La vaca pastará cerca del oso,
el cachorro y el ternero se echarán juntos,
y el león comerá heno como las vacas.
