Isaías 59:5-15

Listen to Isaías 59:5-15
5 Ponen huevos de 谩spides, y tejen telas de ara帽as: el que comiere de sus huevos, morir谩; y si lo apretaren, saldr谩 un basilisco.
6 Sus telas no servir谩n para vestir, ni de sus obras ser谩n cubiertos: sus obras son obras de iniquidad, y obra de rapi帽a est谩 en sus manos.
7 Sus pies corren al mal, y se apresuran para derramar la sangre inocente; sus pensamientos, pensamientos de iniquidad, destrucci贸n y quebrantamiento en sus caminos.
8 No conocieron camino de paz, ni hay derecho en sus caminos: sus veredas son torcidas; cualquiera que por ellas fuere, no conocer谩 paz.
9 Por esto se alej贸 de nosotros el juicio, y no nos alcanz贸 justicia: esperamos luz, y he aqu铆 tinieblas; resplandores, y andamos en oscuridad.
10 Palpamos la pared como ciegos, y andamos 谩 tiento como sin ojos; tropezamos al medio d铆a como de noche; estamos en oscuros lugares como muertos.
11 Aullamos como osos todos nosotros, y gemimos lastimeramente como palomas: esperamos juicio, y no lo hay; salud, y alej贸se de nosotros.
12 Porque nuestras rebeliones se han multiplicado delante de ti, y nuestros pecados han atestiguado contra nosotros; porque con nosotros est谩n nuestras iniquidades, y conocemos nuestros pecados:
13 El prevaricar y mentir contra Jehov谩, y tornar de en pos de nuestro Dios; el hablar calumnia y rebeli贸n, concebir y proferir de coraz贸n palabras de mentira.
14 Y el derecho se retir贸, y la justicia se puso lejos: porque la verdad tropez贸 en la plaza, y la equidad no pudo venir.
15 Y la verdad fu茅 detenida; y el que se apart贸 del mal, fu茅 puesto en presa: y vi贸lo Jehov谩, y desagrad贸 en sus ojos, porque pereci贸 el derecho.

Isaías 59:5-15 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 59

As the former chapter declares the hypocrisy and formality of professors of religion; this expresses the errors and heresies, immorality and profaneness, which shall prevail before the spiritual reign of Christ, or the latter day glory begins; which is so fully described in the next chapter. Reasons are given of God's withdrawing his presence from a professing people, which were not want of power and readiness in him, but their own sins and transgressions, Isa 59:1,2 which are enumerated, such as murder, rapine, lies Isa 59:3-8 for which the judgments of God were upon them, darkness, distress, and misery, of which they were sensible, Isa 59:9-11 and confess their sins and transgressions, Isa 59:12,13 and lament their wretched state and condition, which was displeasing to God, Isa 59:14,15 who is represented as appearing for their salvation; moved to it by their want of help, and the oppression of their enemies, in which he shows his power, justice, zeal, grace, and goodness, Isa 59:16-18 the consequence of which shall be the conversion and salvation of many, owing to the efficacy of the divine Spirit, and to the spiritual coming of the Redeemer, Isa 59:19,20, and the chapter is closed with a promise of the continuance of the Spirit of God, and the Gospel of Christ in his church, unto the end of the world, Isa 59:21.
