Isaías 11:5

5 La justicia será el cinto de sus lomosy la fidelidad el ceñidor de su cintura.

Isaías 11:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 11:5

And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins
He shall be adorned with it, strengthened by it, and ready at all times to perform it; he loved righteousness, and did acts of righteousness throughout the whole course of his life; and, by his active and passive obedience, wrought out an everlasting righteousness for his people; he is a King that reigns in righteousness, righteousness is the sceptre of his kingdom; all his administrations of government are righteous; just and true are all his ways:

and faithfulness the girdle of his reins;
he was faithful to God, that appointed him as King and Head of the church; faithful as a Prophet, in declaring his mind and will; and is a faithful High Priest, as well as a merciful one. The Targum, interprets this of righteous and faithful men, thus,

``and the righteous shall be round about him, and they that work (the work) of faith shall draw nigh unto him;''

but it is said of a single person, of the Messiah only, to whom it properly belongs.

Isaías 11:5 In-Context

3 Él se deleitará en el temor del SEÑOR;no juzgará según las apariencias,ni decidirá por lo que oiga decir,

4 sino que juzgará con justicia a los desvalidos,y dará un fallo justoen favor de los pobres de la tierra.Destruirá la tierra con la vara de su boca;matará al malvado con el aliento de sus labios.

5 La justicia será el cinto de sus lomosy la fidelidad el ceñidor de su cintura.

6 El lobo vivirá con el cordero,el leopardo se echará con el cabrito,y juntos andarán el ternero y el cachorro de león,y un niño pequeño los guiará.

7 La vaca pastará con la osa,sus crías se echarán juntas,y el león comerá paja como el buey.
