Isaías 10:10

10 Como alcanzó mi mano los reinos de los ídolos, cuyas imágenes talladas excedían a las de Jerusalén y Samaria,

Isaías 10:10 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 10:10

As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols
Which worship idols, as the Targum paraphrases it. He speaks of them as being very easily taken by him; he had no trouble in subduing them; no sooner did he come up to them, and looked on them, and saw where they were, but they fell into his hands; they gave up themselves to him at once, and he took possession of them. And whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
being made of better metal, or more richly ornamented, or worshipped in a more pompous manner; or were "more" than they of Jerusalem and Samaria, exceeded them in number; or were "stronger" and mightier than they, as Kimchi supplies it, and yet could not protect them; or were "from Jerusalem, and from Samaria"; the wicked men of Israel, Jarchi says, supplied all the nations with images, they all sprung from them; and if the idols which came from hence could not secure the nations of the earth from falling into the hands of the Assyrian monarch, neither could they preserve Jerusalem and Samaria from being taken by him.

Isaías 10:10 In-Context

8 Porque dice: ¿No son mis príncipes todos ellos reyes?
9 ¿No es Calno como Carquemis? ¿No es Hamat como Arfad? ¿No es Samaria como Damasco?
10 Como alcanzó mi mano los reinos de los ídolos, cuyas imágenes talladas excedían a las de Jerusalén y Samaria,
11 como hice a Samaria y a sus ídolos, ¿no haré así también a Jerusalén y a sus imágenes?
12 Y sucederá que cuando el Señor haya terminado toda su obra en el monte Sion y en Jerusalén, dirá: Castigaré el fruto del corazón orgulloso del rey de Asiria y la ostentación de su altivez.
