Isaías 59:18 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 59:18

According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay
As the enemies of his people have treated them, so will the Lord deal with them; as they have shed their blood, he will, according to the laws of retribution and retaliation, give them blood to drink, as they deserve. The whore of Rome shall be rewarded as the followers of Christ have been rewarded by her, and double shall be rendered to her double, according to her works, ( Revelation 16:6 ) ( 18:6 ) : fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies:
the church's adversaries and enemies are Christ's, and so he esteems them; and therefore his wrath and fury is poured out by way of recompence to them, for all the ill they have done them, even the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath, ( Revelation 16:19 ) : to the islands he will repay recompence;
even to those who dwell in the more distant and remote parts of the antichristian jurisdiction; for when the cup of wrath shall be given to Babylon every island will flee away, ( Revelation 16:20 ) .

Isaías 59:18 In-Context

16 Lo ha visto, y le ha asombradover que no hay nadie que intervenga.Por eso su propio brazo vendrá a salvarlos;su propia justicia los sostendrá.

17 Se pondrá la justicia como coraza,y se cubrirá la cabeza con el casco de la salvación;se vestirá con ropas de venganza,y se envolverá en el manto de sus celos.

18 Les pagará según sus obras;a las costas lejanas les dará su merecido:furor para sus adversarios,y retribución para sus enemigos.

19 Desde el occidente temerán el nombre del SEÑOR,y desde el oriente respetarán su gloria.Porque vendrá como un torrente caudaloso,impulsado por el soplo del SEÑOR.

20 «El Redentor vendrá a Sión;¡vendrá a todos los de Jacobque se arrepientan de su rebeldía!—afirma el SEÑOR—.
