以賽亞書 13:15 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 13:15

Every one that is found shall be thrust through
With a sword, spear, or lance, and be slain; that is, everyone that is found in the city of Babylon; and so the Targum adds,

``and everyone that is found in it shall be slain;''

so Kimchi, in the midst of it, or without; in the street, as Jarchi. The orders of Cyrus ^F8 were, that those that were found without (in the streets) should be slain; and to proclaim in the Syriac language, that those that were within doors should continue there, but, if they were found without, they should be put to death; which orders were executed, and well agrees with this prophecy: and everyone that is joined [unto them] shall fall by the sword;
or "added" unto them; any of other nations that joined them as auxiliaries, see ( Revelation 18:4 ) or "that is gathered"; so the Septuagint, "they that are gathered"; that are gathered together in a body to resist the enemy, and defend themselves. Some render the word, "every one that is consumed", with age; neither old nor young, as follows, should be spared. The Targum is,

``everyone that enters into the fortified cities,''

flees there for safety and protection.

以賽亞書 13:15 In-Context

13 我 ─ 萬 軍 之 耶 和 華 在 忿 恨 中 發 烈 怒 的 日 子 ， 必 使 天 震 動 ， 使 地 搖 撼 ， 離 其 本 位 。

14 人 必 像 被 追 趕 的 鹿 ， 像 無 人 收 聚 的 羊 ， 各 歸 回 本 族 ， 各 逃 到 本 土 。

15 凡 被 仇 敵 追 上 的 必 被 刺 死 ； 凡 被 捉 住 的 必 被 刀 殺 。

16 他 們 的 嬰 孩 必 在 他 們 眼 前 摔 碎 ； 他 們 的 房 屋 必 被 搶 奪 ； 他 們 的 妻 子 必 被 玷 污 。

17 我 必 激 動 瑪 代 人 來 攻 擊 他 們 。 瑪 代 人 不 注 重 銀 子 ， 也 不 喜 愛 金 子 。
