Isaías 31:7

7 Pois naquele dia cada um lançará fora os seus ídolos de prata, e os seus ídolos de ouro, que vos fabricaram as vossas mãos para pecardes.

Isaías 31:7 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 31:7

For in that day
When deliverance shall be wrought; when men shall be convinced of the vanity and insufficiency of their idols to help them, and of their sin in worshipping them; when they shall be brought to repentance for it, and turn to the Lord as an evidence of it:

every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of
gold;
with contempt and abhorrence of them, as the word ^F23 signifies; every man "his" own idol, and even those that were of the greatest value, which were made of gold and silver:

which your own hands have made unto you [for] a sin;
their idols were the work of their own hands, and were made by them in order to commit sin with, the sin of idolatry; or sin may be put for the punishment of sin, which is the issue and consequence of such practices: or it may be rendered, "which your hands of sin", or "sinful hands, have made" ^F24; it was a sin to make such idols, especially with a view to worship them; it was a sin to worship them; and the fruit of it was deserved punishment.

Isaías 31:7 In-Context

5 Como aves quando adejam, assim o Senhor dos exércitos protegerá a Jerusalém; ele a protegerá e a livrará, e, passando, a salvará.

6 Voltai-vos, filhos de Israel, para aquele contra quem vos tendes profundamente rebelado.

7 Pois naquele dia cada um lançará fora os seus ídolos de prata, e os seus ídolos de ouro, que vos fabricaram as vossas mãos para pecardes.

8 E o assírio cairá pela espada, não de varão; e a espada, não de homem, o consumirá; e fugirá perante a espada, e os seus mancebos serão sujeitos a trabalhos forçados.

9 A sua rocha passará de medo, e os seus oficiais em pânico desertarão da bandeira, diz o Senhor, cujo fogo está em Sião e em Jerusalém sua fornalha.
