Isaías 60:15

15 »Aunque una vez fuiste despreciada y odiada,
y nadie pasaba por tus calles,
yo te haré hermosa para siempre,
una alegría para todas las generaciones.

Isaías 60:15 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 60:15

Whereas thou hast been forsaken
Seemingly forsaken of God; thought to be so by herself, which was matter of complaint; and by her enemies, which to them was matter of joy; the Lord not appearing for her immediate relief, and for her deliverance out of the hands of her persecutors: and hated:
of all men, of wicked and profane sinners, and of carnal professors, and especially of the antichristian party: so that no man went through thee;
very few passengers in Zion's ways; few asked the way to her, or joined themselves in fellowship and worship with her. Jacob was small; the number of converts exceeding few: I will make thee an eternal excellency;
the saints are the excellent in the earth, in the esteem of God and Christ; they, are their jewels and peculiar treasure, having the excellent graces of the Spirit of God in them; and the excellent robe of Christ's righteousness on them; an excellent knowledge of divine and spiritual things; an excellent spirit of love and unity; and an excellent order and discipline maintained among them; as well as excellent truths preached, and ordinances administered to them; all which shall continue, being made clearly to appear to be their case: the joy of many generations; of age and age
^F5; or, as the Targum,

``the house of joy of generation and generation;''

that is, the church will be the joy of God and Christ, of the saints, and of the whole world, age after age, for a long period of time: see ( Isaiah 65:18 Isaiah 65:19 ) there seems to be some respect to ( Psalms 48:2 ) .

Isaías 60:15 In-Context

13 »La gloria del Líbano será tuya
—los bosques de ciprés, de abeto y de pino—
para embellecer mi santuario.
¡Mi templo será glorioso!

14 Los descendientes de los que te atormentaron
vendrán a inclinarse ante ti.
Los que te despreciaron
te besarán los pies.
Te llamarán la Ciudad del Señor
,
y Sión del Santo de Israel.

15 »Aunque una vez fuiste despreciada y odiada,
y nadie pasaba por tus calles,
yo te haré hermosa para siempre,
una alegría para todas las generaciones.

16 Reyes poderosos y grandes naciones
colmarán todas tus necesidades,
como si fueras un niño
amamantado por una reina.
Por fin sabrás que yo, el Señor
,
soy tu Salvador y tu Redentor,
el Poderoso de Israel.

17 Cambiaré tu bronce por oro,
tu hierro por plata,
tu madera por bronce
y tus piedras por hierro.
Haré que la paz sea tu líder
y la justicia tu gobernante.
