For near is the day of Yahweh, and, as a veritable Destruction from the Destroyer, shall it come. ¹⁶ Is it not, before our eyes, that, food, hath been cut off? From the house of our God, rejoicing and exultation. ¹⁷ Rotted hath the seed, under their clods, Laid waste are their stores, Thrown down are the garners, - Yea abashed is the corn. ¹⁸ How do the beasts groan! Perplexed are the herds of oxen, because there is no pasture for them, - even, the flocks of sheep, are destroyed! ¹⁹ Unto thee, O Yahweh, will I cry, - for, a fire, hath consumed the pastures of the wilderness, and, a flame, hath set ablaze all the trees of the field. ²⁰ Even the beasts of the field, moan unto thee, - because dried up are the channels of water, and, a fire, hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Santifíquese un ayuno - Él no solo dice "proclamar" o "designar un ayuno", sino "santificarlo". Santifique el acto de abstinencia, sazonándolo con devoción y con actos reunidos para el arrepentimiento. Porque el ayuno no es aceptado por Dios, a menos que se haga con caridad y obediencia a Sus mandamientos. : "Santifícalo", i. e., hágale una ofrenda a Dios, y como si fuera un sacrificio, un ayuno santo y sin mancha " : “Santificar un ayuno es exhibir la abstinencia de la carne, encontrarse con Dios, con otro bien. Deja que la ira cese, la contienda sea arrullada. Porque en vano se desgasta la carne, si la mente no se retiene de las malas pasiones, en la medida en que el Señor dice por el profeta: “¡He aquí! en el día de tu ayuno encontrarás tus placeres ” Isaías 58:3. El ayuno que el Señor aprueba es el que le levanta las manos llenas de limosnas, que se transmite con amor fraternal, sazonado por la piedad. Lo que sustraes de ti mismo, otórgalo a otro, para que la carne de tu prójimo necesitado pueda ser reclutada por medio de lo que niegas a la tuya ".

Llame a una asamblea solemne - Ayunar sin devoción es una imagen de hambre. En otras ocasiones, "la asamblea solemne" era para la alegría del festival. Tal fue el último día de la fiesta de la Pascua Deuteronomio 16:8 y de los tabernáculos Levítico 23:36; Núm. 29:35 ; 2 Crónicas 7:9; Nehemías 8:18. No se debía hacer ningún trabajo servil al respecto. Entonces debía consagrarse a la acción de gracias, pero ahora a la tristeza y la súplica. : “El profeta ordena que todos se convoquen y se reúnan en el Templo, para que la oración sea más escuchada cuanto más se la ofrezca. Por lo tanto, el Apóstol rogó a sus discípulos que oraran por él, para que lo que se les pidiera se obtuviera con mayor facilidad por la intercesión de muchos ".

Reúna a los ancianos - La edad, según el nombramiento de Dios Levítico 19:32, se celebró con gran reverencia entre los hebreos. Cuando Dios envió a Moisés y a Aarón a su pueblo en Egipto, les ordenó que reunieran a los ancianos del pueblo ( Éxodo 3:16; Éxodo 4:29, compare Deuteronomio 31:28 ) declararles su propia misión de Dios; a través de ellos transmitió la ordenanza de la Pascua a toda la congregación Éxodo 12:3, Éxodo 12:21; en su presencia se realizó el primer milagro de llevar agua de la roca ( Éxodo 17:5, agregar Éxodo 18:12); luego le ordenó a Moisés que escogiera setenta de ellos, que se presentaran ante Él antes de dar la ley Éxodo 24:1, Éxodo 24:9; luego cargar con la carga de Moisés al escuchar las causas de la gente, otorgando su espíritu sobre ellos ( Números 11:16 ff). Los ancianos de cada ciudad estaban vestidos con autoridad judicial Deuteronomio 19:12; Deuteronomio 22:15; Deuteronomio 25:7. En la expiación de un asesinato incierto, los ancianos de la ciudad representaban a toda la ciudad Deuteronomio 21:3; En las ofrendas para la congregación, los ancianos de la congregación representaban el conjunto Levítico 4:15; Levítico 9:1.

Entonces, aquí también, son convocados, el jefe de todos, para que "la autoridad y el ejemplo de sus canas puedan llevar a los jóvenes al arrepentimiento". : "Su edad, cercana a la muerte y madurada en gracia, los hace más aptos para el temor y la adoración a Dios". Sin embargo, todos los "sacerdotes, ancianos" y los "habitantes", o "gente de la tierra" Jeremias 1:18, debían formar una banda y debían clamar a Dios con un solo corazón y voz. ; y que "en la casa de Dios". Porque así había rezado Salomón, para que Dios "en el cielo, su morada, oyera cualquier oración y súplica" que pudiera haber "hecha por cualquier hombre o por todo su pueblo Israel" 1 Reyes 8:39; y Dios había prometido a su vez: "He santificado esta casa que has construido, para poner mi nombre allí para siempre, y mis ojos y mi corazón estarán allí para siempre" 1 Reyes 9:3. Dios le ha dado a la oración unida un poder sobre Sí mismo, y "la oración vence a Dios". El profeta llama a Dios "tu" Dios, mostrando cuán listo estaba para escuchar; pero agrega: "clama al Señor"; porque no es una oración apática, sino un fuerte clamor sincero, que alcanza el trono de Dios.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verso 14. Llamar a una asamblea solemne. עצרה atsarah significa un tiempo de restricción , como dice el margen . La cláusula debe traducirse: consagrar un ayuno, proclamar un tiempo de restricción ; es decir, de abstinencia total de alimentos y de todo empleo secular. Todos los ancianos de la tierra y los representantes del pueblo debían reunirse en el templo para clamar al Señor, confesar sus pecados y orar por misericordia. El templo aún no había sido destruido. Esta profecía fue entregada antes del cautiverio de Judá.
