Isaías 49:16-26

En mi mente siempre está la imagen de las murallas de Jerusalén convertidas en ruinas.
y los que procuran destruirte se irán.
porque todos tus hijos volverán a ti.
Tan cierto como que yo vivo —dice el Señor
—,
ellos serán como joyas o adornos de novia para que tú los exhibas.
pronto estarán repletos de tu gente.
Tus enemigos que te esclavizaron
estarán muy lejos.
“¡Necesitamos más espacio! ¡Este lugar está lleno de gente!”.
“¿Quién me ha dado todos estos descendientes?
Pues la mayoría de mis hijos fueron muertos,
y los demás, llevados al destierro.
Aquí me quedé solo.
¿De dónde viene toda esta gente?
¿Quién dio a luz a estos niños?
¿Quién los crió por mí?”».
Soberano:
«Mira, les daré una señal a las naciones que no temen a Dios.
Te traerán a tus hijos pequeños en sus brazos;
traerán a tus hijas sobre los hombros.
y atenderán a todas tus necesidades.
Se inclinarán hasta el suelo ante ti
y lamerán el polvo de tus pies.
Entonces sabrás que yo soy el Señor
.
Los que confían en mí nunca serán avergonzados».
¿Quién puede exigirle a un tirano
que deje en libertad a sus cautivos?
dice:
«Los cautivos de los guerreros serán puestos en libertad,
y se recuperará el botín de los tiranos.
Pues yo pelearé contra quienes peleen contigo,
y salvaré a tus hijos.
y se embriagarán con ríos de su propia sangre.
Todo el mundo sabrá que yo, el Señor
,
soy tu Salvador y tu Redentor;
el Poderoso de Israel».

Isaías 49:16-26 Meaning and Commentary
INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 49
This is a prophecy concerning Christ, and redemption by him; and of the enlargement of the church in the latter day, by the conversion of Jews and Gentiles; which the isles, and people afar off, are exhorted to listen and hearken to, delivered out by the prophet, in the person of Christ; who gives an account of his call to his office, and the time of it; of what the Lord did for him, and said unto him, Isa 49:1-3, then follows a complaint of his labouring in vain, and a correction of it, Isa 49:4 and a further declaration of his call and appointment to office, and of each of the parts of the work assigned him, with encouragement to it, Isa 49:5,6. Christ is again represented under discouraging circumstances, as despised of men, abhorred by the nation, and a servant of rulers; who is encouraged by divine promises that kings should rise up before him, and worship him; that God would be faithful to his promise to him, and yet choose him, hear and help him, at a proper time; preserve him, and give him for a covenant to the people, to the establishment of the earth, and making it habitable, Isa 49:7,8 for the release of prisoners, and feeding, leading, and guiding them, and removing all difficulties out of the way, Isa 49:9-11 when the calling of the Gentiles is foretold, which would occasion great joy in the world, Isa 49:12,13 yet the church is introduced as complaining that she was forsaken of God, Isa 49:14 which is denied, and the contrary affirmed; being dear to the Lord as a sucking child to its mother, and more so; never forgotten by him, and always under his care, Isa 49:16, and, for her comfort, she is assured that those who had destroyed and made her waste should be removed; and that she should have converts that would be an ornament to her, and these numerous, insomuch that the place of their habitation would be too strait and narrow, and which would be matter of astonishment to her, Isa 49:17-21 and, besides those that would be converted in the land of Judea, there would be great numbers in the Gentile world converted by the power of God accompanying his Gospel, set up as a standard there, kings and queens countenancing and encouraging the interest of Christ, Isa 49:22,23 and yet still it is questioned whether the church should be delivered from her oppressors, Isa 49:24 to which it is answered, that she should be delivered, and her persecutors destroyed; by which it would be known that the Lord is the Redeemer and Saviour of his people, Isa 49:25,26.
