以賽亞書 17:1 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 17:1

The burden of Damascus,
&c.] A heavy and grievous prophecy, concerning the destruction of it; the Arabic version is,

``the prophecy of Isaiah concerning Damascus;''
and the Targum is,
``the burden of the cup of cursing to give Damascus to drink.''
Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city;
a kingdom, as the Targum; it was the head of one, but now its walls were demolished, its houses pulled down, and its inhabitants carried captive; this was done by Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, ( 2 Kings 16:9 ) it had been a very ancient city, see ( Genesis 15:2 ) and the head of the kingdom of Syria, ( Isaiah 7:8 ) , and though it underwent this calamity, it was rebuilt again, and was a city of great fame, when destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, ( Jeremiah 49:24 Jeremiah 49:25 ) after which it was raised up again, and was in being in the apostle's time, and still is, ( Acts 9:22 ) ( 2 Corinthians 11:32 ) and it shall be a ruinous heap;
or a heap of stones, as the Targum and Kimchi interpret it. A "behold" is prefixed to the whole, as being very wonderful and remarkable, unthought of, and unexpected.

以賽亞書 17:1 In-Context

1 論 大 馬 色 的 默 示 : 看 哪 , 大 馬 色 已 被 廢 棄 , 不 再 為 城 , 必 變 作 亂 堆 。
2 亞 羅 珥 的 城 邑 已 被 撇 棄 , 必 成 為 牧 羊 之 處 ; 羊 在 那 裡 躺 臥 , 無 人 驚 嚇 。
3 以 法 蓮 不 再 有 保 障 ; 大 馬 色 不 再 有 國 權 ; 亞 蘭 所 剩 下 的 必 像 以 色 列 人 的 榮 耀 消 滅 一 樣 。 這 是 萬 軍 之 耶 和 華 說 的 。
4 到 那 日 , 雅 各 的 榮 耀 必 至 枵 薄 ; 他 肥 胖 的 身 體 必 漸 瘦 弱 。
5 就 必 像 收 割 的 人 收 斂 禾 稼 , 用 手 割 取 穗 子 , 又 像 人 在 利 乏 音 谷 拾 取 遺 落 的 穗 子 。
