Isaías 58:9 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 58:9

Then shall thou call, and the Lord shall answer
A spirit of grace and supplication will be poured out upon the people of God; they will then pray without a form, and call upon the Lord in sincerity and truth, with faith and fervency; and the Lord will hear and answer them, and plentifully bestow his favours on them, so that they will have no reason to complain, as in ( Isaiah 58:3 ) : thou shalt cry, and he shall say, here I am;
he will immediately appear to the help and relief of his people; they shall have his presence with them, to comfort and refresh them, to support and supply them, to protect and defend them: if thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke;
of human inventions, doctrines, rites and ceremonies, as in ( Isaiah 58:6 ) : "the putting forth of the finger"; pointing at those that could not comply with them, by way of scorn and derision, as puritans, schismatics and persecuting them for it; and so is the same with smiting with the fist of wickedness, ( Isaiah 58:4 ) ; when this deriding and persecuting spirit is done away, then, and not till then, will the prayers of a people be heard, though under a profession of religion, and under the Protestant name: and speaking vanity; which also must be taken away, or desisted from; even speaking false doctrines, as the Syriac version; or which profits not, as the Vulgate Latin version; profane and vain babblings, ( 2 Timothy 2:14 2 Timothy 2:15 ) , and threatening words, to such who will not receive them.

Isaías 58:9 In-Context

7 ¿No es acaso el ayuno compartir tu pan con el hambrientoy dar refugio a los pobres sin techo,vestir al desnudoy no dejar de lado a tus semejantes?

8 Si así procedes,tu luz despuntará como la aurora,y al instante llegará tu sanidad;tu justicia te abrirá el camino,y la gloria del SEÑOR te seguirá.

9 Llamarás, y el SEÑOR responderá;pedirás ayuda, y él dirá: “¡Aquí estoy!”»Si desechas el yugo de opresión,el dedo acusador y la lengua maliciosa,

10 si te dedicas a ayudar a los hambrientosy a saciar la necesidad del desvalido,entonces brillará tu luz en las tinieblas,y como el mediodía será tu noche.

11 El SEÑOR te guiará siempre;te saciará en tierras resecas,y fortalecerá tus huesos.Serás como jardín bien regado,como manantial cuyas aguas no se agotan.
