Isaías 21:1-10

Listen to Isaías 21:1-10
1 Oráculo acerca do deserto do mar. Como os tufões de vento do sul, que tudo assolam, aí vem do deserto, duma terra horrível.
2 Dura visão me foi manifesta: o pérfido trata perfidamente, e o destruidor anda destruindo. Sobe, ó Elão, sitia, ó Média; já fiz cessar todo o seu gemido.
3 Pelo que os meus lombos estĂŁo cheios de angĂşstia; dores apoderaram-se de mim como as dores de mulher na hora do parto; estou tĂŁo atribulado que nĂŁo posso ouvir, e tĂŁo desfalecido que nĂŁo posso ver.
4 O meu coração se agita, o horror apavora-me; o crepúsculo, que desejava, tem-se-me tornado em tremores.
5 Eles põem a mesa, estendem os tapetes, comem, bebem. Levantai-vos, príncipes, e ungi o escudo.
6 Porque assim me disse o Senhor: Vai, põe uma sentinela; e ela que diga o que vir.
7 Quando vir uma tropa de cavaleiros de dois a dois, uma tropa de jumentos, ou uma tropa de camelos, escute a sentinela atentamente com grande cuidado.
8 Então clamou aquele que viu: Senhor, sobre a torre de vigia estou em pé continuamente de dia, e de guarda me ponho todas as noites.
9 E eis aqui agora vem uma tropa de homens, cavaleiros de dois a dois. Então ele respondeu e disse: Caiu, caiu Babilônia; e todas as imagens esculpidas de seus deuses são despedaçadas até o chão.
10 Ah, malhada minha, e trigo da minha eira! o que ouvi do Senhor dos exércitos, Deus de Israel, isso vos tenho anunciado.

Isaías 21:1-10 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 21

This chapter contains prophecies against Babylon, Idumea, and Arabia. The prophecy against Babylon is called "the burden of the desert of the sea"; whose enemies are described by the fierce manner of their coming, and by the land from whence they came, Isa 21:1 which vision being declared to the prophet, is called a grievous one; what made it so was treachery among themselves; and the Medes and Persians are invited to besiege them, Isa 21:2 their terror and distress upon it are represented by the pains of a woman in travail, whom the prophet personates, Isa 21:3,4 and by the methods they took to defend themselves, to which they were alarmed, when in the greatest security and jollity, Isa 21:5 all which is illustrated by the vision of the watchman, who saw the Medes and Persians on the march, signified by a chariot and a couple of horsemen, who declares the fall of Babylon, and the destruction of its gods, Isa 21:6-9 which would issue in the good and comfort of the church and people of God, Isa 21:10 then follows the prophecy against Idumea, which consists of a question put to the watchman, and his answer to it; to which an exhortation is added, Isa 21:11,12 and the chapter concludes with another prophecy against Arabia: the calamities threatened are lodging in a forest, thirst, famine, and fleeing from the sword Isa 21:13-15, and the time is fixed when all this should be, by which their glory would fail, and the number of their archers and mighty men be lessened; for the confirmation of which the divine testimony is annexed, Isa 21:16,17.
