Isaías 30:16 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 30:16

But ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses
Hither and thither to get help and assistance; go down to Egypt for it on them, or thither for them, as some render it; and then face the enemy, and, if we can not conquer him, will flee from him, and so provide for our safety; this is man's way of salvation, as opposed to God's way; see ( Hosea 1:7 ) ( 14:3 ) or this may design their fleeing on horses and camels with their riches into Egypt, both for the security of them and their persons, ( Isaiah 30:6 ) : therefore shall ye flee;
on horses from the enemy, and be pursued and taken by him; this was fulfilled long after, when the city was taken by the Chaldeans; see ( 2 Kings 25:4 ) : and, We will ride upon the swift;
horses or camels, to the swiftness of which they trusted, and doubted not to get off safe, but would find themselves mistaken: therefore shall they that pursue you be swift;
yea, swifter than the horses and camels they rode on, and overtake them, and either put them to death, or carry them captive. The Chaldeans are represented as very swift, ( Jeremiah 4:13 ) ( Habakkuk 1:8 ) .

Isaías 30:16 In-Context

14 E ele o quebrará como se quebra o vaso do oleiro, despedaçando-o por completo, de modo que não se achará entre os seus pedaços um caco que sirva para tomar fogo da lareira, ou tirar água da poça.
15 Pois assim diz o Senhor Deus, o Santo de Israel: Voltando e descansando, sereis salvos; no sossego e na confiança estará a vossa força. Mas não quisestes;
16 antes dissestes: Não; porém sobre cavalos fugiremos; portanto fugireis; e: Sobre cavalos ligeiros cavalgaremos; portanto hão de ser ligeiros os vossos perseguidores.
17 Pela ameaça de um só fugirão mil; e pela ameaça de cinco vós fugireis; até que fiqueis como o mastro no cume do monte, e como o estandarte sobre o outeiro.
18 Por isso o Senhor esperará, para ter misericórdia de vós; e por isso se levantará, para se compadecer de vós; porque o Senhor é um Deus de eqüidade; bem-aventurados todos os que por ele esperam.
