Bible Commentaries

Psalms 146:9 — Versículo Salmo 146:9 . Guarda a los extranjeros. El os ha guardado a vosotros como extranjeros en tierra extraña, en la cual estuvisteis en cautiverio setenta años; y aunque en un país enemigo , ha provisto para las viudas y los huérfanos tan ampliamente como si hubiera estado en la tierra prometida. El camino de los impíos trastorna. Subvierte, desvía . No harán toda la maldad que quieran; no harán todo lo que esté en su poder. En su carrera los detendrá , los desviará o los derrocará .

Isaiah 61:9 — Versículo Isaías 61:9 . Su simiente será conocida entre los gentiles. Tanto los judíos como los gentiles han de formar un solo redil bajo un solo pastor, Cristo Jesús. Pero, a pesar de esto, pueden conservar su peculiaridad y distinción nacional; de modo que, aunque se sepa

Ezekiel 43:9 — Versículo Ezequiel 43:9 . Ahora que dejen su fornicación. Su idolatría . Y los cadáveres de sus reyes. Parece que a Dios le disgustó que trajeran a sus reyes tan cerca de su templo . David fue sepultado en la ciudad de David , que estaba en el monte Sión , cerca del templo; y así fueron casi todos los reyes de Judá; pero Dios requiere que el lugar de su templo y sus alrededores se mantengan sin contaminación; y cuando se deshagan de toda inmundicia, entonces morará entre ellos .

Hosea 9:15 — Versículo Oseas 9:15 . Toda su maldad está en Gilgal. Aunque no se nos informa directamente del hecho, tenemos razón para creer que habían sido culpables de algunas prácticas escandalosas de idolatría en Gilgal . Ver Oseas 4:15 . Porque allí los aborrecí. Y por tanto determinó, "por la maldad de sus obras, echarlos de su casa", para que dejaran de ser parte de la familia celestial, ya sea como hijos o como siervos ; porque él "no los amaría más", y no los toleraría más.

Joel 3:9 — Verse 9. Prepare war — Let all the enemies of God and of his people join together; let them even call all the tillers of the ground to their assistance, instead of labouring in the field; let every peasant become a soldier. Let them turn their agricultural implements into offensive weapons, so that the weak, being well armed, may confidently say, I am strong: yet, when thus collected and armed, Jehovah will bring down thy mighty ones; for so the clause in Joel 3:11 should be rendered.

Joel 3:9 — Versículo 9. Preparad la guerra. Que se unan todos los enemigos de Dios y de su pueblo; que incluso llamen a todos los labradores de la tierra en su ayuda, en lugar de trabajar en el campo; que cada campesino se convierta en soldado . Conviertan sus aperos de labranza en armas ofensivas , para que el débil , estando bien armado, diga con confianza : Fuerte soy ; pero así reunidos y armados, Jehová derribará a tus fuertes ; pues así debe traducirse la cláusula de Joel 3:11

Amos 8:9 — Verse Amos 8:9. I will cause the sun to go down at noon — This may either refer to that darkness which often precedes and accompanies earthquakes, or to an eclipse. Abp. Usher has shown that about eleven years after Amos prophesied there were two great eclipses of the sun; one at the feast of tabernacles, and the other some time before the passover. The prophet may refer to the darkness occasioned by those eclipses; yet I rather think the whole may refer to the earthquake.

Jonah 1:9 — Verse 9. I fear the Lord — In this Jonah was faithful. He gave an honest testimony concerning the God he served, which placed him before the eyes of the sailors as infinitely higher than the objects of their adoration; for the God of Jonah was the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land, and governed both. He also honestly told them that he was fleeing from the presence of this God, whose honourable call he had refused to obey. See John 1:10.

Jonah 1:9 — Versículo 9. Temo al Señor. En esto Jonás fue fiel . Dio un testimonio honesto del Dios a quien servía, que lo colocó ante los ojos de los marineros como infinitamente más alto que los objetos de su adoración; porque el Dios de Jonás era el Dios del cielo, que hizo el mar y la tierra seca , y gobernó a ambos. También les dijo honestamente que estaba huyendo de la presencia de este Dios , cuyo honroso llamado se había negado a obedecer. Véase Juan 1:10 .

Micah 4:9 — Verso 9. ¿No hay rey ​​en ti?  Ninguno. ¿Y por qué? porque has desechado a Jehová tu rey. ¿Ha muerto tu consejero?  No: sino que has rechazado las palabras y los consejos de los profetas. Angustias te han tomado. Está hablando de las desolaciones que ocurrirán cuando los caldeos vengan contra la ciudad; y por eso dice: "Irás a Babilonia"; seréis echados de vuestra propia tierra, y enviados como esclavos a un país extranjero. Él representa al pueblo bajo la noción de una mujer en parto .

Zechariah 13:9 — Versículo Zacarías 13:9 . Traeré la tercera parte a través del fuego. La Iglesia cristiana soportará una gran lucha de aflicciones, por las cuales serán refinados, no consumidos. Invocarán mi nombre. De esta manera ofrecerán todas sus oraciones y súplicas a Dios. Diré: Es

Zechariah 9:12 — Verse Zechariah 9:12. Turn you to the strong hold — Ye who feel your sins, and are shut up under a sense of your guilt, look up to him who was delivered for your offences, and rose again for your justification. Ye have hope; let that hope lead you to faith, and that faith to the blood of the covenant; and, through that blood, to GOD, the Father of all.I will render double unto thee — Give thee an abundance of peace and salvation.

Matthew 26:54 — Verse 54. But how then — Had I such a defence - shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say, that thus it must be? That is, that I am to suffer and die for the sin of the world. Probably the Scriptures to which our Lord principally refers are Psalms 22:0, Psalms 69:0, and especially Isaiah 53:0, and Daniel 9:24-27. Christ shows that they had no power against him but what he permitted; and that he willingly gave up himself into their hands.

John 17:5 — Verse John 17:5. Before the world was. — That is, from eternity, before there was any creation-so the phrase, and others similar to it, are taken in the sacred writings; see John 17:24; Psalms 90:2; Ephesians 1:4. See John 1:1. Let the glory of my eternal divinity surround and penetrate my humanity, in its resurrection, ascension, and in the place which it is to occupy at thy right hand, far above all creatures, Philippians 2:6; Philippians 2:9.

Acts 14:9 — Verse Acts 14:9. That he had faith to be healed — How did this faith come to this poor heathen? Why, by hearing the word of God preached: for it is said, the same heard Paul speak. And it appears that he credited the doctrine he heard, and believed that Jesus could, if he would, make him whole. Besides, he must have heard of the miracles which the apostles had wrought, see Acts 14:3; and this would raise his expectation of receiving a cure.

1 Corinthians 9:13 — Verse 1 Corinthians 9:13. They which minister about holy things — All the officers about the temple, whether priests, Levites, Nethinim, c., had a right to their support while employed in its service. The priests partook of the sacrifices the others had their maintenance

1 Thessalonians 3:9 — Verse 9. What thanks can we render to God — The high satisfaction and uncommon joy which the apostle felt are strongly depicted in the language he uses. How near his heart did the success of his ministry lie! It was not enough for him that he preached so often, laboured so hard, suffered so much; what were all these if souls were not converted? And what were all conversions, if those who embraced the Gospel did not walk steadily in the way to heaven, and persevere?

Hebrews 11:9 — Verse Hebrews 11:9. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise — It is remarkable that Abraham did not acquire any right in Canaan, except that of a burying place; nor did he build any house in it; his faith showed him that it was only a type and pledge of a better country, and he kept that better country continually in view: he, with Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs of the same promise, were contented to dwell in tents, without any fixed habitation.

1 John 2:9 — Verse 9. He that saith he is in the light — He that professes to be a convert to Christianity, even in the lowest degree; and hateth his brother-not only does not love him, but wills and does him evil, as the Jews did the Gentiles; is in darkness-has received no saving knowledge of the truth; and, whatever he may pretend, is in heathen ignorance, or even worse than heathen ignorance, to the present time, notwithstanding the clear shining of the light of the Gospel.

1 John 5:18 — Verse 18. Whosoever is born of God sinneth not — This is spoken of adult Christians; they are cleansed from all unrighteousness, consequently from all sin, 1 John 1:7-9.Keepeth himself — That is, in the love of God, Jude 1:21, by building up himself on his most holy faith, and praying in the Holy Ghost; and that wicked one-the devil, toucheth him not-finds nothing of his own nature in him on which he can work, Christ dwelling in his heart by faith.
