Isaiah

Chapter 61

1

1 The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the lowly, to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners,

2

To announce a year of favor from the LORD and a day of vindication by our God, to comfort all who mourn;

3

To place on those who mourn in Zion a diadem instead of ashes, To give them oil of gladness in place of mourning, a glorious mantle instead of a listless spirit. They will be called oaks of justice, planted by the LORD to show his glory.

4

They shall rebuild the ancient ruins, the former wastes they shall raise up And restore the ruined cities, desolate now for generations.

5

Strangers shall stand ready to pasture your flocks, foreigners shall be your farmers and vinedressers.

6

You yourselves shall be named priests of the LORD, ministers of our God you shall be called. You shall eat the wealth of the nations and boast of riches from them.

7

Since their shame was double and disgrace and spittle were their portion, They shall have a double inheritance in their land, everlasting joy shall be theirs.

8

For I, the LORD, love what is right, I hate robbery and injustice; I will give them their recompense faithfully, a lasting covenant I will make with them.

9

Their descendants shall be renowned among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; All who see them shall acknowledge them as a race the LORD has blessed.

10

I rejoice heartily in the LORD, in my God is the joy of my soul; For he has clothed me with a robe of salvation, and wrapped me in a mantle of justice, Like a bridegroom adorned with a diadem, like a bride bedecked with her jewels.

11

As the earth brings forth its plants, and a garden makes its growth spring up, So will the Lord GOD make justice and praise spring up before all the nations.

1 [1-2] This was spoken by the prophet in regard to the restoration of Zion, but quoted by Christ as referring to his mission; cf ⇒ Luke 4:18, ⇒ 19. Year of favor . . . day of vindication: the time of God’s salvation.

The Bible – Old Testament

Isaiah

Isaiah

Chapter 51

1

1 Thus says the LORD: Where is the bill of divorce with which I dismissed your mother? Or to which of my creditors have I sold you? It was for your sins that you were sold, for your crimes that your mother was dismissed.

2

2 Why was no one there when I came? Why did no one answer when I called? Is my hand too short to ransom? Have I not the strength to deliver? Lo, with my rebuke I dry up the sea, I turn rivers into a desert; Their fish rot for lack of water, and die of thirst.

3

I clothe the heavens in mourning, and make sackcloth their vesture.

4

3 The Lord GOD has given me a well-trained tongue, That I might know how to speak to the weary a word that will rouse them. Morning after morning he opens my ear that I may hear;

5

4 And I have not rebelled, have not turned back.

6

5 I gave my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who plucked my beard; My face I did not shield from buffets and spitting.

7

The Lord GOD is my help, therefore I am not disgraced; I have set my face like flint, knowing that I shall not be put to shame.

8

He is near who upholds my right; if anyone wishes to oppose me, let us appear together. Who disputes my right? Let him confront me.

9

See, the Lord GOD is my help; who will prove me wrong? Lo, they will all wear out like cloth, the moth will eat them up.

10

6 Who among you fears the LORD, heeds his servant’s voice, And walks in darkness without any light, Trusting in the name of the LORD and relying on his God?

11

All of you kindle flames and carry about you fiery darts; Walk by the light of your own fire and by the flares you have burnt! This is your fate from my hand: you shall lie down in a place of pain.

Amanecer-2-X

1 [1] Responding to the people’s complaint of utter abandonment by God, the prophet shows that their sins were responsible for their banishment. Since there was no bill of divorce, the bond between the Lord and his people still exists and he will ultimately save them.
2 [2] Israel’s faith in God is weak; she does not answer his call, nor believe in his promises of deliverance.
3 [4-11] The third of the four «Servant-of-the-Lord» oracles; in ⇒ Isaiah 50:4-9 the Servant speaks; in ⇒ Isaiah 50:10-11 God reproves the people for not following the Servant.
4 [5] The Servant does not refuse the divine vocation.
5 [6] He willingly submits to insults and beatings. Plucked my beard: a grave insult.
6 [10-11] Instead of trusting in the Lord and his Servant, the people rely on their own devices, to their own destruction.
