Isaías 14:32

32 Que se responderá pois aos mensageiros do povo? Que o Senhor fundou a Sião, e que nela acharão refúgio os aflitos do seu povo.

Isaías 14:32 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:32

What shall [one] then answer the messengers of the nation?
&c.] Or nations, of any of the nations. Not the messengers sent to Hezekiah, ( Isaiah 39:1 ) but rather such as were sent to him, to congratulate him upon his victory over the Philistines; or any others that were sent, and came from other nations, that inquired about these matters, and the answer returned is, That the Lord hath founded Zion;
and not Hezekiah; he had given his people victory over their enemies, and protected, defended, and established them, and therefore ought to have all the glory: and the poor of his people shall trust in it;
or, "betake themselves to it"; as to a place of safety, being founded by the Lord, and under his protection. So the church of God, which often goes by the name of Zion in Scripture, is of his founding; he has laid Christ as the foundation of it, and such as are sensible of their spiritual poverty, misery, and danger, trust in him; not in Zion, but in the foundation God has laid in Zion, or built his church upon.

Isaías 14:32 In-Context

30 E os primogênitos dos pobres serão apascentados, e os necessitados se deitarão seguros; mas farei morrer de fome a tua raiz, e será destruído o teu restante.

31 Uiva, ó porta; grita, ó cidade; tu, ó Filístia, estás toda derretida; porque do norte vem fumaça; e não há vacilante nas suas fileiras.

32 Que se responderá pois aos mensageiros do povo? Que o Senhor fundou a Sião, e que nela acharão refúgio os aflitos do seu povo.
