Isaías 48:22 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 48:22

There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked
To Nebuchadnezzar and his seed, says Jarchi; to the Babylonians, say Aben Ezra and Kimchi; who enjoyed no more peace and prosperity, being conquered by Cyrus, and their monarchy dissolved, and put an end to: but rather this is to be understood of the wicked among the Jews; which sense Aben Ezra mentions, though he prefers the former; and either those are meant, who refused to go out of Babylon, and the land of Chaldea, when they might, but continued among an idolatrous people, and therefore are threatened with want of peace and prosperity; or rather the Jews in the times of Christ and his apostles, who disbelieved the Messiah, despised his Gospel, and rejected his ordinances; the consequence of which was, they had no peace, no outward prosperity, but all the reverse; their nation, city, and temple, were destroyed, and they carried captive, and scattered up and down in the world; nor any inward spiritual peace, nor eternal happiness; for blaspheming and contradicting the word of the Gospel, and putting it away from them, they judged themselves unworthy of everlasting life; and the apostles were bid to turn from them to the Gentiles, and preach the Gospel to them; hence the next chapter begins, listen, O isles, unto me
; see ( Luke 19:4 ) ( Acts 13:45-47 ) .

Isaías 48:22 In-Context

20 Sin embargo, incluso ahora, ¡sean libres de su cautiverio!
Salgan de Babilonia y de los babilonios.
¡Canten este mensaje!
Grítenlo hasta los extremos de la tierra.
El Señor
ha redimido a sus siervos:
a los del pueblo de Israel.

21 No tuvieron sed
cuando él los guió a través del desierto.
Él partió la roca,
y brotó agua a chorros para que bebieran.

22 «Pero no hay paz para los malvados»,
dice el Señor
