Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He ordenado - Este es el lenguaje de Dios en referencia a aquellos que estaban a punto de destruir Babilonia. "Él" reclamó el control y la dirección de todos sus movimientos; y aunque "ellos" no entendieron la orden como si viniera de él, fue por su dirección y de acuerdo con su plan (compare las notas en Isaías 10:7; Isaías 45:5). La "orden" no fue dada por los profetas, ni por una voz audible; pero fue su propósito y dirección secreta lo que los llevó a esta empresa.

Mis santificados - Los medos y los persas; no llamados ‘santificados porque eran santos, sino porque fueron apartados por la intención divina y el propósito de lograr esto. La palabra "santificar" (קדשׁ qâdash) a menudo significa "apartar", ya sea para Dios; a una oficina; a cualquier uso sagrado; o para cualquier propósito de la religión, o para lograr cualquiera de los planes divinos. Por lo tanto, significa dedicar uno al oficio de sacerdote Éxodo 28:41; para separar o dedicar un altar Éxodo 39:36; dedicar un pueblo Éxodo 19:10; para nombrar o instituir un ayuno Joel 1:14; Joel 2:15; para santificar una guerra Joel 3:9, es decir, prepararse para ella o prepararla. Aquí significa que los medos y los persas fueron apartados, en el propósito de Dios, para cumplir sus designios con respecto a Babilonia (compárese la nota en Isaías 10:5).

Mis poderosos - Aquellos que son fuertes; y que están tan completamente bajo mi dirección, que pueden llamarse mías.

Por mi ira - Para cumplir los propósitos de mi ira contra Babilonia.

Incluso aquellos que se regocijan en mi alteza - No se puede suponer que los medos y los persas realmente se regocijaron, o se regocijaron en Dios o en sus planes, porque es evidente que , al igual que Senaquerib Isaías 1, buscaban cumplir sus propios propósitos y no eran solícitos con respecto a los planes de Dios (compare la nota en Isaías 47:6). La palabra traducida "mi alteza" (גאותי ga'ăvāthı̂y) significa, propiamente, "mi majestad" o "gloria". Cuando se aplica a las personas, como suele serlo, significa orgullo o arrogancia. Significa aquí, el plan elevado y exaltado de Dios con respecto a Babilonia. Fue una empresa poderosa; y uno en el que se manifestaría el poder, la justicia y el dominio de Dios sobre las naciones. Al lograr esto, los medos y los persas se regocijarían o se regocijarían, no como el cumplimiento del plan de Dios; pero se regocijarían como si fuera su propio plan, aunque realmente sería el glorioso plan de Dios. Las personas malvadas a menudo se regocijan en su éxito; se glorían en la ejecución de sus propósitos; pero realmente están logrando los planes de Dios y ejecutando sus grandes diseños.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Versículo Isaías 13:3 . He ordenado a mis santificados. מקדשי mekuddashai , las personas consagradas a este mismo propósito. Nada puede ser más claro que el verbo כדש kadash , "hacer santo", también significa consagrar o designar para un propósito particular. El obispo Lowth traduce, "mis guerreros inscritos". Este es el sentido .
