Isaías 44:4

4 Prosperarán como la hierba bien regada,
como sauces en la ribera de un río.

Isaías 44:4 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 44:4

And they shall spring up as among the grass
That is, such on whom the Spirit of the Lord shall be poured with his gifts and grace, and with the blessings of it: by the "grass" may be meant common believers, comparable to green grass, for their numbers, being many; for their weakness in themselves; for their flourishing condition; like grass for its greenness, and verdure, and its springing up by clear shining after rain; see ( Psalms 72:6 Psalms 72:16 ) and by those that "spring up among them" are intended the apostles and ministers of the word, who exceed common Christians in their gifts, and grace, and usefulness; grow up higher and taller than they, like palm trees and cedars in Lebanon; and as such exceed private saints as tall trees exceed the grass they grow among: as willows by the water courses;
a sort of trees well known, and which delight in watery places, and grow best on banks of rivers, and shoot up apace in a very short time, and spread their branches; so the apostles, after the effusion of the Spirit on them, grew quickly in gifts, and grace, and evangelic knowledge; and their usefulness spread far and near. The Targum is,

``the righteous shall grow tender and delicate as the flowers of the grass, as a tree that sends forth its roots by flows of water.''

Isaías 44:4 In-Context

2 El Señor
que te hizo y que te ayuda, dice:
“No tengas miedo, oh Jacob, siervo mío,
mi amado Israel,
mi elegido.

3 Pues derramaré agua para calmar tu sed
y para regar tus campos resecos;
derramaré mi Espíritu sobre tus descendientes,
y mi bendición sobre tus hijos.

4 Prosperarán como la hierba bien regada,
como sauces en la ribera de un río.

5 Algunos dirán con orgullo: ‘Yo le pertenezco al Señor
’;
otros dirán: ‘Soy descendiente de Jacob’.
Algunos escribirán el nombre del Señor
en sus manos
y tomarán para sí el nombre de Israel”».

6 Necedad de los ídolos
Esto dice el Señor
, el Rey y Redentor de Israel, el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales:
«Yo soy el Primero y el Último;
no hay otro Dios.
