Isaías 48:11

11 Y lo he hecho por mí, por mí mismo.¿Cómo puedo permitir que se me profane?¡No cederé mi gloria a ningún otro!

Isaías 48:11 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 48:11

For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it
Defer his anger, not cut off his people and destroy them, but redeem and save them: this, in the literal sense, respects the redemption and deliverance of the Jews by Cyrus from the Babylonish captivity; which the Lord did, not for any deserts of theirs, but for the sake of his own honour and glory; or, as the Targum,

``for my name, and for my word;''

which is repeated here again and again for the confirmation of it, and that it might be more observed. In the mystical sense, it respects redemption and salvation by Christ, of which the former was typical: for how should my name be polluted?
blasphemed and evil spoken of among the nations of the world; who would be ready to say, that either the Lord did not love his people, and was not mercifully disposed towards them; or that he could not save them, and that their hands, or their gods, were mightier than he; see ( Deuteronomy 32:26 Deuteronomy 32:27 ) and I will not give my glory to another;
to another people, as the Targum, or to another god; (See Gill on Isaiah 42:8).

Isaías 48:11 In-Context

9 Por amor a mi nombre contengo mi ira;por causa de mi alabanza me refreno,para no aniquilarte.

10 ¡Mira! Te he refinado pero no como a la plata;te he probado en el horno de la aflicción.

11 Y lo he hecho por mí, por mí mismo.¿Cómo puedo permitir que se me profane?¡No cederé mi gloria a ningún otro!

12 »Escúchame, Jacob,Israel, a quien he llamado:Yo soy Dios;yo soy el primero, y yo soy el último.

13 Con la mano izquierda afirmé la tierra,y con la derecha desplegué los cielos.Yo pronuncié su nombre,y todos ellos aparecieron.
