Isaia 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.

Isaia 1:19 In-Context

17 imparate a fare il bene; cercate la giustizia, rialzate l’oppresso, fate ragione all’orfano, difendete la causa della vedova!

18 Eppoi venite, e discutiamo assieme, dice l’Eterno; quand’anche i vostri peccati fossero come lo scarlatto, diventeranno bianchi come la neve quand’anche fossero rossi come la porpora, diventeranno come la lana.

19 Se siete disposti ad ubbidire, mangerete i prodotti migliori del paese;

20 ma se rifiutate e siete ribelli, sarete divorati dalla spada; poiché la bocca dell’Eterno ha parlato.

21 Come mai la città fedele è ella divenuta una prostituta? Era piena di rettitudine, la giustizia dimorava in lei, ed ora è ricetto d’assassini!
