Isaías 14:5

5 El SEÑOR ha quebrado el báculo de los impíos, el cetro de los gobernantes

Isaías 14:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:5

The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked
This is an answer to the above question, how the exactor and his tribute came to cease; this was not by man, but by the Lord himself; for though he made use of Cyrus, the work was his own, he broke the power of the wicked kings of Babylon: [and] the sceptre of the rulers;
that were under the king of Babylon; or of the several kings themselves, Nebuchadnezzar, Evilmerodach, and Belshazzar; so Kimchi interprets it. This may be applied to the kingdom of antichrist, and the antichristian states, which shall be broken to shivers as a potter's vessel by Christ, the King of kings, and Lord of lords, ( Revelation 2:27 ) ( Revelation 19:15 Revelation 19:16 ) . The "staff" and "sceptre" are emblems of power and government; and "breaking" them signifies the utter destruction and cessation of authority and dominion.

Isaías 14:5 In-Context

3 Y el día en que el SEÑOR te dé descanso de tu dolor, de tu desesperación y de la dura servidumbre a la que fuiste sometido,

4 pronunciarás esta burla contra el rey de Babilonia, y dirás: ¡Cómo se ha acabado el opresor, y cómo ha cesado el furor!

5 El SEÑOR ha quebrado el báculo de los impíos, el cetro de los gobernantes

6 que golpeaba con furia a los pueblos con golpes incesantes, que sometía con ira a las naciones en persecución incesante.

7 Toda la tierra está en reposo, está quieta; prorrumpe en gritos de júbilo.
