Isaías 6:8 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 6:8

Also I heard the voice of the Lord
The Targum renders it, the voice of the Word of the Lord, as if it was the second Person, the Word, that was heard speaking; but it seems rather to be the voice of the first Person, the Father: saying, Whom shall I send?
to the people of Israel, to reprove them for their blindness and stupidity, and to threaten them, and foretell unto them their ruin and destruction; intimating that it was a difficult thing to pitch upon a proper person; and that there were but few that were fit to go on such an errand: this is spoken after the manner of men; otherwise the Lord knew whom to send, and whom he would send; and could easily qualify anyone he pleased, and send with such a message: and who will go for us?
not directing his discourse to the seraphim, as Aben Ezra and Kimchi; as if he consulted with them: for who of all the creatures is the Lord's counsellor? but to the Son and Spirit, who it is certain were concerned in this mission; for the following words were said when Isaiah saw the glory of Christ, and spake of him, ( John 12:41 ) and they are expressly attributed to the Holy Ghost in ( Acts 28:25 Acts 28:26 ) the Septuagint and Arabic versions, instead of "for us", read "unto this people"; and the Targum is,

``whom shall I send to prophesy? and who will go to teach?''

then said I, here [am] I, send me:
for he who before thought himself undone, and unworthy to be employed in the service of God, now having a discovery and application of pardoning grace, freely offers himself to God: this shows the true nature and effect of an application of pardon; it gives a man freedom and boldness in the presence of God, and stimulates to a ready and cheerful obedience to his will, and engages him with the utmost alacrity in his service; so far is the doctrine of free and full pardon by the blood of Christ from being a licentious doctrine.

Isaías 6:8 In-Context

6 En ese momento voló hacia mí uno de los serafines. Traía en la mano una brasa que, con unas tenazas, había tomado del altar.

7 Con ella me tocó los labios y me dijo:«Mira, esto ha tocado tus labios;tu maldad ha sido borrada,y tu pecado, perdonado».

8 Entonces oí la voz del Señor que decía:—¿A quién enviaré? ¿Quién irá por nosotros?Y respondí:—Aquí estoy. ¡Envíame a mí!

9 Él dijo:—Ve y dile a este pueblo:»“Oigan bien, pero no entiendan;miren bien, pero no perciban”.

10 Haz insensible el corazón de este pueblo;embota sus oídosy cierra sus ojos,no sea que vea con sus ojos,oiga con sus oídos,y entienda con su corazón,y se conviertay sea sanado.
