Isaías 42:7

7 Abrirás los ojos de los ciegos;
pondrás a los cautivos en libertad,
soltando a los que están en calabozos oscuros.

Isaías 42:7 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 42:7

To open the blind eyes
Of the idolatrous Gentiles, who were spiritually blind, and knew not the wretchedness of their case; the exceeding sinfulness of sin; their need of a Saviour, and who he was; as they did, when their eyes were opened by means of the Gospel sent among them, through the energy of the divine Spirit; for this is a work of almighty power and efficacious grace: to bring out the prisoners from the prison;
who were concluded in sin, shut up in unbelief, and under the law, the captives of Satan, and held fast prisoners by him and their own lusts, under the dominion of which they were: and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house:
of sin, Satan, and the law; being under which, they were in a state of darkness and ignorance as to things divine and spiritual. The allusion is to prisons, which are commonly dark places. Vitringa, by the "prisoners", understands the Jews shut up under the law; and by those in "darkness" the Gentiles, destitute of all divine knowledge.

Isaías 42:7 In-Context

5 Dios, el Señor
, creó los cielos y los extendió;
creó la tierra y todo lo que hay en ella.
Él es quien da aliento a cada uno
y vida a todos los que caminan sobre la tierra.
Y es él quien dice:

6 «Yo, el Señor
, te he llamado para manifestar mi justicia.
Te tomaré de la mano y te protegeré,
y te daré a mi pueblo, los israelitas,
como símbolo de mi pacto con ellos.
Y serás una luz para guiar a las naciones.

7 Abrirás los ojos de los ciegos;
pondrás a los cautivos en libertad,
soltando a los que están en calabozos oscuros.

8 »¡Yo soy el Señor
; ese es mi nombre!
No le daré mi gloria a nadie más,
ni compartiré mi alabanza con ídolos tallados.

9 Todo cuanto profeticé se ha hecho realidad,
y ahora profetizaré de nuevo;
les diré el futuro antes de que suceda».
