Isaías 40:4

4 Todo valle sea elevado, y bajado todo monte y collado; vuélvase llano el terreno escabroso, y lo abrupto, ancho valle.

Isaías 40:4 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 40:4

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill
shall be made low
Which is not to be understood literally, but, as Kimchi says, parabolically and mystically: the meaning is, that in consequence of John's ministry, and our Lord's coming, such who were depressed and bowed down with the guilt of sin, and were low and humble in their own eyes, should be raised up and comforted; and that such who were elated with themselves, and their own righteousness, should be humbled; their pride and haughtiness should be brought down, and they treated with neglect and contempt, while great notice was taken of lowly minded ones; see ( Luke 14:11 ) and ( Luke 18:14 ) : and the crooked shall be straight and the rough places plain;
what before was dark and intricate in prophecy should now become clear; and such doctrines as were not so well understood should now become plain and easy.

Isaías 40:4 In-Context

2 Hablad al corazón de Jerusalén y decidle a voces que su lucha ha terminado, que su iniquidad ha sido quitada, que ha recibido de la mano del SEÑOR el doble por todos sus pecados.

3 Una voz clama: Preparad en el desierto camino al SEÑOR; allanad en la soledad calzada para nuestro Dios.

4 Todo valle sea elevado, y bajado todo monte y collado; vuélvase llano el terreno escabroso, y lo abrupto, ancho valle.

5 Entonces será revelada la gloria del SEÑOR, y toda carne a una la verá, pues la boca del SEÑOR ha hablado.

6 Una voz dijo: Clama. Entonces él respondió: ¿Qué he de clamar? Toda carne es hierba, y todo su esplendor es como flor del campo.
