Isaías 7:11 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 7:11

Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God
For though Ahaz was a wicked man, yet the Lord was his God, as he was the God of the people of Israel in general, as a nation; and knowing his unbelief and diffidence of his word unto him, offers to confirm it by a sign or miracle: ask it either in the depth, or in the height above,
in earth, or in heaven: so the Targum,

``ask that a miracle may be done for thee upon earth, or that a sign may be shown thee in heaven;''

either that the earth might gape and open its mouth, as in the days of Moses; or that the sun might stand still, as in the times of Joshua; or that a dead man might be raised out of the depth of the earth; or that there might be some strange appearances in the heavens.

Isaías 7:11 In-Context

9 Entretanto la cabeza de Ephraim es Samaria, y la cabeza de Samaria el hijo de Remalías. Si vosotros no creyereis, de cierto no permaneceréis.

10 Y habló más Jehová á Achâz, diciendo:

11 Pide para ti señal de Jehová tu Dios, demandándola en lo profundo, ó arriba en lo alto.

12 Y respondió Achâz: No pediré, y no tentaré á Jehová.

13 Dijo entonces Isaías: Oid ahora casa de David. ¿Os es poco el ser molestos á los hombres, sino que también lo seáis á mi Dios?
