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 Su caída es como el romper de una vasija de alfarero, despedazada sin piedad; no se halla entre sus pedazos ni un tiesto para tomar fuego del hogar o para sacar agua de una cisterna.
15 Porque así ha dicho el Señor DIOS, el Santo de Israel: En arrepentimiento y en reposo seréis salvos; en quietud y confianza está vuestro poder. Pero no quisisteis,
16 y dijisteis: No, porque huiremos a caballo. Por tanto, huiréis. Y: Sobre corceles veloces cabalgaremos. Por tanto, serán veloces los que os persiguen.
17 Mil huirán ante la amenaza de uno solo, ante la amenaza de cinco huiréis; hasta que seáis dejados como una enseña en la cima de un monte, y como señal sobre una colina.
18 Por tanto, el SEÑOR espera para tener piedad de vosotros, y por eso se levantará para tener compasión de vosotros. Porque el SEÑOR es un Dios de justicia; ¡cuán bienaventurados son todos los que en El esperan!
