SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:43
Que la tierra estará desamparada de ellos, y reposará sus sábados, estando desierta a causa de ellos; y ellos rogarán por su pecado; por cuanto menospreciaron mis derechos, y tuvo el alma de ellos fastidio de mis decretos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 43. The land also shall be left of them , etc.] This seems to refer to a second time, when this should be the case of the land of Judea again, as it was when subdued by the Romans, and the Jews were carried captive from it, and so it was left by them, as it has been ever since: and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while lieth desolate without them ; shall be as in the sabbatical years, uncultivated, neither ploughed nor sown, nor reaped; and thus the land of Canaan, though once so very fruitful, is now desolate and barren, being without its former inhabitants, and so it is like to be until it is restored to them again; and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity ; that is, when made sensible of their sins, and particularly of their iniquity of rejecting the Messiah; they will not think it hard that they have been punished in so severe a manner, but own the righteous hand of God in it, and be humble under it; and confessing their sins with true sorrow and repentance for them, looking at him whom they have pierced, and mourn, shall have the free and full remission of their sins applied unto them: because, even, because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes ; despised and abhorred Christ, his doctrines and ordinances, which was the reason of their being carried captive out of their land, when it was forsaken by them, and lay desolate as to this day, especially with respect to any benefit of it enjoyed by them; and which, when they are sensible of, will be a reason of their accepting the punishment of their iniquity so readily, and not murmur at the hand of God upon them, or reflect on his dealings with them, but freely and fully confess their sins, that he may be justified in all that he has done.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 40-46 - Among the Israelites, persons were not always prosperous or afflicte according to their obedience or disobedience. But national prosperit was the effect of national obedience, and national judgments wer brought on by national wickedness. Israel was under a peculia covenant. National wickedness will end in the ruin of any people especially where the word of God and the light of the gospel ar enjoyed. Sooner or later, sin will be the ruin, as well as the reproach, of every people. Oh that, being humbled for our sins, we might avert the rising storm before it bursts upon us! God grant tha we may, in this our day, consider the things which belong to ou eternal peace __________________________________________________________________
