Isaías 13:15

15 Todo o que for capturado será traspassado;todos os que forem apanhados cairão à espada.

Isaías 13:15 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 13:15

Every one that is found shall be thrust through
With a sword, spear, or lance, and be slain; that is, everyone that is found in the city of Babylon; and so the Targum adds,

``and everyone that is found in it shall be slain;''

so Kimchi, in the midst of it, or without; in the street, as Jarchi. The orders of Cyrus ^F8 were, that those that were found without (in the streets) should be slain; and to proclaim in the Syriac language, that those that were within doors should continue there, but, if they were found without, they should be put to death; which orders were executed, and well agrees with this prophecy: and everyone that is joined [unto them] shall fall by the sword;
or "added" unto them; any of other nations that joined them as auxiliaries, see ( Revelation 18:4 ) or "that is gathered"; so the Septuagint, "they that are gathered"; that are gathered together in a body to resist the enemy, and defend themselves. Some render the word, "every one that is consumed", with age; neither old nor young, as follows, should be spared. The Targum is,

``everyone that enters into the fortified cities,''

flees there for safety and protection.

Isaías 13:15 In-Context

13 Por isso farei o céu tremer,e a terra se moverá do seu lugardiante da ira do SENHOR dos Exércitosno dia do furor da sua ira.

14 Como a gazela perseguida,como a ovelha que ninguém recolhe,cada um voltará para o seu povo,cada um fugirá para a sua terra.

15 Todo o que for capturado será traspassado;todos os que forem apanhados cairão à espada.

16 Seus bebês serão despedaçados diante dos seus olhos;suas casas serão saqueadas e suas mulheres, violentadas.

17 Vejam! Eu despertarei contra eles os medos,que não se interessam pela pratanem se deleitam com o ouro.
