Isaías 51:18

18 Ni uno de tus hijos queda con vida
para tomarte de la mano y guiarte.

Isaías 51:18 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 51:18

There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath
brought forth
Still alluding to drunken persons staggering in the streets, that can scarcely stand on their feet, and do not know their way, and yet have none to hold them up and guide them, not even of their friends and relations: neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that
she hath brought up;
to hold her up from falling, of which there is danger by reeling to and fro, through the intoxicating liquor; and this, either for want of sons, these being dead, or through want of filial affection in them. This was true of Jerusalem, literally understood, at the time of her last destruction by the Romans, when she had no king, priest, nor prophet, to counsel and direct, defend and protect her; and will be the case of the church of God at the slaying of the witnesses, when their own friends will be shy of them, and refuse or neglect to do any kind offices, or show any respect unto them, signified by not suffering their dead bodies to be put into graves, ( Revelation 11:9 ) .

Isaías 51:18 In-Context

16 Y he puesto mis palabras en tu boca
y te he escondido a salvo dentro de mi mano.
Yo extendí
el cielo como un dosel
y puse los cimientos de la tierra.
Yo soy el que le dice a Israel:
“¡Tú eres mi pueblo!”».

17 ¡Despierta, oh Jerusalén, despierta!
Has bebido la copa de la furia del Señor
.
Has bebido la copa del terror,
la has vaciado hasta la última gota.

18 Ni uno de tus hijos queda con vida
para tomarte de la mano y guiarte.

19 Estas dos calamidades te han ocurrido:
la desolación y la destrucción, el hambre y la guerra.
Y ¿quién ha quedado para compadecerse de ti?
¿Quién ha quedado para consolarte?

20 Pues tus hijos se han desmayado y yacen en las calles,
tan indefensos como antílopes atrapados en una red.
El Señor
ha derramado su furia;
Dios los ha reprendido.
