Isaías 9:17

17 Por eso el Señor
no se complace en los jóvenes,
ni tiene misericordia siquiera de las viudas y los huérfanos.
Pues todos son unos hipócritas perversos,
y todos ellos hablan necedades.
Pero aun así no quedará satisfecho el enojo del Señor
.
Su puño sigue preparado para dar el golpe.

Isaías 9:17 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 9:17

Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men,
&c.] Take no delight and pleasure in them; but, on the contrary, detest and abhor them, and so destroy them, being depraved and corrupted by the bad instructions and examples of their parents: neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows;
who are objects of pity and compassion; yet these being wicked, as well as the fathers of the one, and the husbands of the other, shall be no more spared than they have been; so that this expresses both the general corruption and destruction of this people: for everyone [is] a hypocrite and an evildoer;
a hypocrite, as Aben Ezra on the place observes, is one that is outwardly good, and inwardly wicked; which was the general character of the people of Israel in Isaiah's time, as it was of the Jews in the times of Christ, see ( Matthew 23:25-28 ) they pretended to do good, but were doers of evil, workers of iniquity, continually committing sin; and yet would be thought to be very upright and sincere, both in their religion towards God, and in their dealings with men; but deceitful in both: and every mouth speaketh folly;
or falsehood; a lie, as the Targum, as all lies are foolish; as also all vain words, all impious ones; or the savour of irreligion or superstition, and indeed every idle word, and all unsavoury and corrupt speech, and there is particularly foolish talking, which is not convenient, ( Ephesians 5:4 ) : for all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is]
stretched out still;
which is repeated from ( Isaiah 9:12 ) . (See Gill on Isaiah 9:12).

Isaías 9:17 In-Context

15 Los líderes de Israel son la cabeza,
y los profetas mentirosos son la cola.

16 Pues los líderes del pueblo lo han engañado;
lo han llevado por la senda de la destrucción.

17 Por eso el Señor
no se complace en los jóvenes,
ni tiene misericordia siquiera de las viudas y los huérfanos.
Pues todos son unos hipócritas perversos,
y todos ellos hablan necedades.
Pero aun así no quedará satisfecho el enojo del Señor
.
Su puño sigue preparado para dar el golpe.

18 Esa perversidad es como un incendio de maleza
que no solo quema las zarzas y los espinos
sino que también hace arder los bosques.
Su fuego hace subir nubes de humo.

19 La tierra quedará ennegrecida
por la furia del Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales.
El pueblo será combustible para el fuego,
y nadie perdonará la vida ni siquiera de su propio hermano.
