Ésaïe 1:19 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 1:19

If ye be willing and obedient
The Targum adds, "to my Word": the Word made flesh, and dwelling among them; who would have gathered the inhabitants of Jerusalem to his ministry, to attend his word and ordinances, but their rulers would not: ye shall eat the good of the land;
the land of Canaan; as the Jews held the possession of that land, before the times of Christ, by their obedience to the laws of God, which were given them as a body politic, and which, so long as they observed, they were continued in the quiet and full enjoyment of all the blessings of it; so, when Christ came, had they received, embraced, and acknowledged him as the Messiah, and been obedient to his will, though only externally, they would have remained in their own land, and enjoyed all the good things in it undisturbed by enemies.

Ésaïe 1:19 In-Context

17 Cessez de mal faire; apprenez à bien faire; recherchez la droiture; protégez l'opprimé, faites droit à l'orphelin, défendez la veuve.

18 Venez maintenant et débattons nos droits, dit l'Éternel. Quand vos péchés seraient comme le cramoisi, ils seront blanchis comme la neige; quand ils seraient rouges comme le vermillon, ils deviendront comme la laine.

19 Si vous obéissez volontairement, vous mangerez le meilleur du pays.

20 Mais si vous résistez, si vous êtes rebelles, vous serez dévorés par l'épée; car la bouche de l'Éternel a parlé.

21 Comment la cité fidèle est-elle devenue une prostituée? Elle était pleine de droiture, la justice habitait en elle; et maintenant, des meurtriers!
