Isaías 19:9-19

Listen to Isaías 19:9-19
9 Serán confundidos los que trabajan el lino cardado y los tejedores de tela blanca.
10 Y las columnas de Egipto serán demolidas, todos los jornaleros estarán abatidos.
11 No son más que necios los príncipes de Zoán; el consejo de los más sabios consejeros de Faraón se ha vuelto torpe. ¿Cómo decís a Faraón: Yo soy hijo de los sabios, hijo de los antiguos reyes?
12 Pues bien, ¿dónde están tus sabios? Que ellos ahora te declaren, y te hagan saber lo que el SEÑOR de los ejércitos ha determinado contra Egipto.
13 Han obrado neciamente los príncipes de Zoán, se han engañado los príncipes de Menfis; han extraviado a Egipto los que son la piedra angular de sus tribus.
14 El SEÑOR ha mezclado en medio de ella un espíritu de distorsión, y han hecho extraviar a Egipto en todas sus empresas, como se tambalea el ebrio en su vómito.
15 Y no habrá para Egipto obra alguna que pueda hacer su cabeza o su cola, su hoja de palmera o su junco.
16 En aquel día los egipcios serán como las mujeres, temblarán y estarán aterrados ante la mano alzada que el SEÑOR de los ejércitos agitará contra ellos.
17 Y la tierra de Judá será terror para Egipto; todo aquel a quien se la mencionen quedará aterrado de ella, a causa del propósito que el SEÑOR de los ejércitos ha determinado contra él.
18 Aquel día cinco ciudades en la tierra de Egipto hablarán la lengua de Canaán y jurarán lealtad al SEÑOR de los ejércitos; una de ellas será llamada Ciudad de Destrucción .
19 Aquel día habrá un altar al SEÑOR en medio de la tierra de Egipto, y un pilar al SEÑOR cerca de su frontera.

Isaías 19:9-19 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 19

This chapter contains prophecies of various calamities that should come upon Egypt in a short time, and of the conversion of many of them to Christ in Gospel times. The calamities are many; the Lord's coming unto them, which their gods cannot prevent, nor stand before, nor save them, and at which the hearts of the Egyptians are dispirited, Isa 19:1 civil wars among themselves, Isa 19:2 want of counsel, which sends them to idols and wizards, but in vain, Isa 19:3 subjection to a cruel lord, Isa 19:4 drying up of their rivers and waters, so that the paper reeds wither, and fishes die; and hence no business for fishermen, nor for workers in flax, or weavers of nets, Isa 19:5-10,15 the stupidity of their princes and wise counsellors, given up by the Lord to a perverse spirit, so that they concerted wrong measures, and deceived the people, Isa 19:11-14 a general consternation among them, because of the hand and counsel of the Lord; and because of the Lord's people, the Jews, who were a terror to them, Isa 19:16,17 and then follows the prophecy of their conversion in later times, which is signified by their speaking the language of Canaan, and swearing to the Lord, Isa 19:18 by their erecting an altar, and a pillar to the Lord, which should be a sign and witness to him; and by their crying to him, and his sending them a Saviour, and a great one, Isa 19:19,20 by his being known unto them, by their offering sacrifice to him, and by his smiting and healing them Isa 19:21,22 and the chapter is concluded with a prophecy of that harmony, and agreement, and fellowship, that shall be between Jew and Gentile, between Egypt, Assyria, and Israel; and that the blessing of God should be upon them all, Isa 19:23-25.
