Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
Esto dice el SEÑOR: ¿Dónde está el documento de divorcio de su madre que demuestre que yo la despedí? ¿O a cuál de mis acreedores los vendí para pagar mis deudas? Miren, ustedes se vendieron a sí mismos por causa de sus pecados, y su madre fue despedida por causa de sus transgresiones.
Dios declara que el pueblo fue separado de Él no por abandono divino, sino por sus propios pecados.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of the prophet Isaiah, around the 8th century BC, the people of Judah were deeply involved in idolatry and social injustices, which led God to warn them of impending judgment through exile. This verse uses the cultural imagery of a divorce certificate and debt slavery, common in ancient Near Eastern societies, to emphasize that Israel's separation from God was not arbitrary but a result of their own sins. It fits into the broader biblical narrative of God's covenant faithfulness amid His people's unfaithfulness, pointing toward the Babylonian captivity as a consequence.
