Isaías 9:9 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 9:9

And all the people shall know
The word of the Lord, and that it is his; and by sad experience shall feel the weight of it; or, "the people shall know the whole of it" ^F25; shall find that the whole of it will be accomplished, every punctilio in it; whatever is said is done, everything predicted by it, the substance of it, and every circumstance relating to it: or they shall be punished, they shall bear, know, and feel the punishment of their sins; in which sense the word "know", in the Arabic language, is frequently used, of which Schultens ^F26 has given many instances: [even] Ephraim, and the inhabitants of Samaria:

Isaías 9:9 In-Context

7 Su gobierno y la paz
nunca tendrán fin.
Reinará con imparcialidad y justicia desde el trono de su antepasado David
por toda la eternidad.
¡El ferviente compromiso del Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales
hará que esto suceda!

8 Enojo del Señor
contra Israel
El Señor se ha pronunciado contra Jacob;
su juicio ha caído sobre Israel.

9 Y los habitantes de Israel
y de Samaria,
quienes hablaron con tanta soberbia y arrogancia,
pronto se enterarán.

10 Decían: «Reemplazaremos los ladrillos rotos de nuestras ruinas con piedra labrada
y volveremos a plantar cedros donde cayeron las higueras sicómoros».

11 Pero el Señor
traerá a los enemigos de Rezín contra Israel
e incitará a todos sus adversarios.
