Isaías 10:24

24 Así que esto dice el Señor, el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales: «Oh, mi pueblo de Sión, no temas a los asirios cuando te opriman con vara y con garrote como lo hicieron los egipcios hace mucho tiempo.

Isaías 10:24 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 10:24

Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts
Since there is such a decree, and this will certainly be executed: O my people, that dwellest in Zion;
the inhabitants of Jerusalem; such of them especially as feared the Lord, and worshipped him, and served him in the temple: be not afraid of the Assyrian:
the king of Assyria; neither Sennacherib, that threatened them with ruin, having taken the cities of Judah, and laid siege to Jerusalem; nor Nebuchadnezzar, who carried them captive, since he would not be able utterly to destroy them, they would return and dwell in the land again; for there was a decree concerning the salvation of a remnant, which would certainly take place; and till that was executed, it was impossible the nation should be destroyed. He shall smite thee with a rod;
be an instrument of chastising and correcting, but not of destroying; Jarchi interprets it of smiting with the rod of his mouth, by means of Rabshakeh reproaching, and blaspheming: and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of
Egypt;
which Kimchi explains of the tribute the Assyrians exacted of them, in like manner as the Egyptians set taskmasters over them, and afflicted them with hard bondage, in Egypt: the sense is, that though the Assyrians should annoy and distress them, yet should not utterly consume them; there would be an end of their oppression, and a deliverance out of it; even as when they were in Egypt, and oppressed there, the Lord appeared for them, and supported them, and at length saved them, and so he would now. Mention is made of a rod and a staff, in allusion to what the Assyrian is said to be in the hand of the Lord, ( Isaiah 10:5 ) .

Isaías 10:24 In-Context

22 Pero aunque los hijos de Israel son tan numerosos
como la arena a la orilla del mar,
solo un remanente regresará.
El Señor
, con razón, ha decidido destruir a su pueblo.

23 Sí, el Señor, el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales,
ya ha decidido destruir toda la tierra.

24 Así que esto dice el Señor, el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales: «Oh, mi pueblo de Sión, no temas a los asirios cuando te opriman con vara y con garrote como lo hicieron los egipcios hace mucho tiempo.

25 Dentro de poco se acabará mi enojo contra ustedes, y después mi ira se levantará para destruirlos a ellos».

26 El Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales los azotará con su látigo, como hizo cuando Gedeón venció a los madianitas en la roca de Oreb, o cuando se levantó la vara del Señor
para ahogar al ejército egipcio en el mar.
