Sin embargo, ese tiempo de oscuridad y de desesperación no durará para siempre. La tierra de Zabulón y de Neftalí será humillada, pero habrá un tiempo en el futuro cuando Galilea de los gentiles,
que se encuentra junto al camino que va del Jordán al mar, será llena de gloria.
verá una gran luz.
Para aquellos que viven en una tierra de densa oscuridad,
brillará una luz.
y sus habitantes se alegrarán.
Se alegrarán ante ti
como la gente se goza en la cosecha,
y como los guerreros cuando se dividen el botín.
y levantarás la pesada carga de sus hombros.
Romperás la vara del opresor,
tal como lo hiciste cuando destruiste al ejército de Madián.
y los uniformes manchados de sangre por la guerra
serán quemados;
serán combustible para el fuego.
un hijo se nos ha dado;
el gobierno descansará sobre sus hombros,
y será llamado:
Consejero Maravilloso,
Dios Poderoso,
Padre Eterno, Príncipe de Paz.
nunca tendrán fin.
Reinará con imparcialidad y justicia desde el trono de su antepasado David
por toda la eternidad.
¡El ferviente compromiso del Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales
hará que esto suceda!
contra Israel
El Señor se ha pronunciado contra Jacob;
su juicio ha caído sobre Israel.
y de Samaria,
quienes hablaron con tanta soberbia y arrogancia,
pronto se enterarán.
y volveremos a plantar cedros donde cayeron las higueras sicómoros».
sacarán sus colmillos y devorarán a Israel.
Pero aun así no quedará satisfecho el enojo del Señor
;
su puño sigue preparado para dar el golpe.
no buscará al Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales.
destruirá tanto la cabeza como la cola,
la noble rama de palma y el humilde junco.
y los profetas mentirosos son la cola.
lo han llevado por la senda de la destrucción.
no se complace en los jóvenes,
ni tiene misericordia siquiera de las viudas y los huérfanos.
Pues todos son unos hipócritas perversos,
y todos ellos hablan necedades.
Pero aun así no quedará satisfecho el enojo del Señor
.
Su puño sigue preparado para dar el golpe.
que no solo quema las zarzas y los espinos
sino que también hace arder los bosques.
Su fuego hace subir nubes de humo.
por la furia del Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales.
El pueblo será combustible para el fuego,
y nadie perdonará la vida ni siquiera de su propio hermano.
pero seguirán con hambre.
Devorarán a su vecino de la izquierda,
pero no quedarán satisfechos.
Al final, se comerán hasta a sus propios hijos.
Efraín se alimentará de Manasés,
y los dos devorarán a Judá.
Pero aun así no quedará satisfecho el enojo del Señor
;
su puño sigue preparado para dar el golpe.

Isaías 9 Commentary
Chapter 9
The Son that should be born, and his kingdom. (1-7) The judgments to come upon Israel, and on the enemies of the kingdom of Christ. (8-21)
Verses 1-7 The Syrians and Assyrians first ravaged the countries here mentioned, and that region was first favoured by the preaching of Christ. Those that want the gospel, walk in darkness, and in the utmost danger. But when the gospel comes to any place, to any soul, light comes. Let us earnestly pray that it may shine into our hearts, and make us wise unto salvation. The gospel brings joy with it. Those who would have joy, must expect to go through hard work, as the husbandman, before he has the joy of harvest; and hard conflict, as the soldier, before he divides the spoil. The Jews were delivered from the yoke of many oppressors; this was a shadow of the believer's deliverance from the yoke of Satan. The cleansing the souls of believers from the power and pollution of sin, would be by the influence of the Holy Spirit, as purifying fire. These great things for the church, shall be done by the Messiah, Emmanuel. The Child is born; it was certain; and the church, before Christ came in the flesh, benefitted by his undertaking. It is a prophecy of him and of his kingdom, which those that waited for the Consolation of Israel read with pleasure. This Child was born for the benefit of us men, of us sinners, of all believers, from the beginning to the end of the world. Justly is he called Wonderful, for he is both God and man. His love is the wonder of angels and glorified saints. He is the Counsellor, for he knew the counsels of God from eternity; and he gives counsel to men, in which he consults our welfare. He is the Wonderful Counsellor; none teaches like him. He is God, the mighty One. Such is the work of the Mediator, that no less power than that of the mighty God could bring it to pass. He is God, one with the Father. As the Prince of Peace, he reconciles us to God; he is the Giver of peace in the heart and conscience; and when his kingdom is fully established, men shall learn war no more. The government shall be upon him; he shall bear the burden of it. Glorious things are spoken of Christ's government. There is no end to the increase of its peace, for the happiness of its subjects shall last for ever. The exact agreement of this prophecy with the doctrine of the New Testament, shows that Jewish prophets and Christian teachers had the same view of the person and salvation of the Messiah. To what earthly king or kingdom can these words apply? Give then, O Lord, to thy people to know thee by every endearing name, and in every glorious character. Give increase of grace in every heart of thy redeemed upon earth.
Verses 8-21 Those are ripening apace for ruin, whose hearts are unhumbled under humbling providences. For that which God designs, in smiting us, is, to turn us to himself; and if this point be not gained by lesser judgments, greater may be expected. The leaders of the people misled them. We have reason to be afraid of those that speak well of us, when we do ill. Wickedness was universal, all were infected with it. They shall be in trouble, and see no way out; and when men's ways displease the Lord, he makes even their friends to be at war with them. God would take away those they thought to have help from. Their rulers were the head. Their false prophets were the tail and the rush, the most despicable. In these civil contests, men preyed on near relations who were as their own flesh. The people turn not to Him who smites them, therefore he continues to smite: for when God judges, he will overcome; and the proudest, stoutest sinner shall either bend or break.
Chapter Summary
INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 9
This chapter contains a prophecy, partly of comfort to the church and people of God, against the calamities predicted in the preceding chapter Isa 8:1-22; and partly of punishment, to be inflicted upon the ungodly Israelites by their enemies. The comfort promised arises from the appearance of Christ, the great light, in some certain places of the land mentioned, said before to be afflicted, Isa 9:1,2 which would occasion a joy among them; illustrated by some similes, by the joy in harvest, and at the dividing of spoils, Isa 9:3 the cause of which is a deliverance from a burdensome yoke of tyranny and bondage, wrought in like manner as that by Gideon formerly; different from all other salvations, which are usually obtained with noise and blood, Isa 9:4,5 the author of which is the Messiah; who is described by his birth as man, and by his divine sonship as God; or by his person, having two natures united in him; and by the government devolved on him; and by his several names, which express the greatness and glory of his person and office; and by the increase and administration of his government, Isa 9:6,7 then follows a denunciation of judgment on Israel, Isa 9:8 the instruments of which are pointed at, Isa 9:11,12, and the persons described that should suffer, high and low, rich and poor, young and old, Isa 9:14,15,17 the reasons of it, their making light of former corrections, Isa 9:9,10 their impenitence and hardness under chastenings, Isa 9:13 their going astray by means of their leaders; and their hypocrisy and wickedness, Isa 9:16-18 all which would occasion the wrath of God to burn against them, and consume them, Isa 9:18,19 yea, through hunger and want of provisions, should destroy one another, Isa 9:20,21.
