Isaías 14:30

30 Los más débiles comerán, y los necesitados se acostarán seguros; pero haré morir de hambre tu raíz, y ésta matará tus sobrevivientes.

Isaías 14:30 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:30

And the firstborn of the poor shall feed
That is, the Jews, who were brought very low in the times of Ahaz, reduced to the greatest straits and difficulties; for so the word "firstborn" may signify the chief, or those who were of all the poorest, and in the greatest distress; these, in the times of Hezekiah, shall enjoy abundance of good things, and under his gentle government shall feed like a flock of sheep in good pastures; this signifying, that though he should be like a serpent, harmful to his enemies, yet should be kind and tender unto, and take great care of his own subjects, and under whom they should have great plenty and prosperity: and the needy shall lie down in safety;
like a flock of sheep, secure from beasts of prey, under the care of a faithful and vigilant shepherd; this shows that the Jews should not only have plenty of good things, but should live in the greatest security, without fear of any enemy, or danger from them: and I will kill thy root with famine;
this is said to Palestine, compared to a tree, whose root is dried up for want of moisture, and so dies; and the meaning is, that a sore famine should rage in their country, and utterly destroy them: and he shall slay thy remnant:
that is, Hezekiah should slay with the sword those that were left of the famine.

Isaías 14:30 In-Context

28 El año en que murió el rey Acaz, vino esta profecía:

29 No te alegres, toda tú, Filistea, porque la vara que te hirió esté quebrada; pues de la raíz de la serpiente saldrá una víbora, y su fruto será serpiente voladora.

30 Los más débiles comerán, y los necesitados se acostarán seguros; pero haré morir de hambre tu raíz, y ésta matará tus sobrevivientes.

31 Gime, puerta; clama, ciudad; derrítete, toda tú, Filistea; porque del norte viene humo, y nadie se rezaga de sus filas.

32 ¿Cómo, pues, se responderá a los mensajeros de la nación?: Que el SEÑOR ha fundado a Sion, y en ella buscarán refugio los afligidos de su pueblo.
