Isaia 10:32

32 Egli si fermerà ancora quel giorno in Nob; e moverà la sua mano contro al monte della figliuola di Sion, e contro al colle di Gerusalemme.

Isaia 10:32 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 10:32

As yet shall he remain at Nob that day
The same day he came from Gebim; and proceed no further as yet, but make a short stay, and prepare himself and army to march to Jerusalem the next day: the Jews say ^F12, that he performed all his journeys in one day; the same day he came to Ajath he came to Nob, where he stayed the remaining part of the day. Nob was a city of the priests, ( 1 Samuel 22:19 ) and so it is called in the Targum here; it was so near Jerusalem, that, as Jarchi and Kimchi say, it might be seen from hence; wherefore here he stood, in sight of Jerusalem; against the wall of it, the Targum says; and did as follows:

he shall shake his hand [against] the mount of the daughter of
Zion, the hill of Jerusalem;
threatening what he would do to it, and despising it as unable to hold out against him; or the sense is this, yet a day, or in a day's time, from the last place where he was; he shall come to Nob, and there shall he stop, and go no further: or, "the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem, shall shake its hand"; bidding him defiance, insulting over him, or rejoicing at the fall of the Assyrian army. Wherefore it follows:

Isaia 10:32 In-Context

30 Strilla con la tua voce, o figliuola di Gallim; e tu, povera Anatot, riguarda attentamente verso Lais.

31 Madmena si è messa in fuga; gli abitanti di Ghebim si son salvati in fretta.

32 Egli si fermerà ancora quel giorno in Nob; e moverà la sua mano contro al monte della figliuola di Sion, e contro al colle di Gerusalemme.

33 Ecco, il Signore, il Signor degli eserciti, troncherà i rami con violenza, e i più elevati saran ricisi,

34 e gli eccelsi saranno abbassati. Ed egli taglierà dal piè col ferro i più folti alberi del bosco, e il Libano caderà per la man di un possente.
