Isaías 33:19

19 No verás á aquel pueblo espantable, pueblo de lengua oscura de entender, de lengua tartamuda que no comprendas.

Isaías 33:19 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 33:19

Thou shalt not see a fierce people
A people of a fierce countenance, as in ( Daniel 8:23 ) fierce in their looks, furious in their temper, cruel and bloodthirsty in their practices, confirmed and hardened in their sins, whose consciences are seared as with a red hot iron; a character given of the Papists, ( 1 Timothy 4:2 ) these shall be no more seen nor feared: a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive;
than the people in common could, having their worship and devotion not in their mother tongue, but in the Latin tongue: of a stammering tongue, [that thou canst] not understand:
meaning the same as before, a barbarous language, as everyone is to those who understand it not; so the Syriac and Assyrian languages were to the Jews, ( 2 Kings 18:26 ) and so the Roman language to other nations; but now no more to be used in religious worship; nor shall the church of God be any more visited by Turks or Papists, and be in any dread of them more.

Isaías 33:19 In-Context

17 Tus ojos verán al Rey en su hermosura; verán la tierra que está lejos.
18 Tu corazón imaginará el espanto, y dirá: ¿Qué es del escriba? ¿qué del pesador? ¿qué del que pone en lista las casas más insignes?
19 No verás á aquel pueblo espantable, pueblo de lengua oscura de entender, de lengua tartamuda que no comprendas.
20 Mira á Sión, ciudad de nuestras solemnidades: tus ojos verán á Jerusalem, morada de quietud, tienda que no será desarmada, ni serán arrancadas sus estacas, ni ninguna de sus cuerdas será rota.
21 Porque ciertamente allí será Jehová para con nosotros fuerte, lugar de ríos, de arroyos muy anchos, por el cual no andará galera, ni por él pasará grande navío.
