Ésaïe 17:4 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 17:4

And in that day it shall come to pass
It being much about the same time that both kingdoms were destroyed by the Assyrians: [that] the glory of Jacob shall be made thin;
the same with Ephraim and Israel, the ten tribes, whose glory lay in the superior number of their tribes to Judah; in the multitude of their cities, and the inhabitants of them; but now would be thinned, by the vast numbers that should be carried captive: and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean:
like a man in a consumption, that is become a mere skeleton, and reduced to skin and bones: the meaning is, that all their wealth and riches should be taken away; so the Targum,

``and the riches of his glory shall be carried away.''

Ésaïe 17:4 In-Context

2 Les villes d'Aroër sont abandonnées, Elles sont livrées aux troupeaux; Ils s'y couchent, et personne ne les effraie.
3 C'en est fait de la forteresse d'Ephraïm, Et du royaume de Damas, et du reste de la Syrie: Il en sera comme de la gloire des enfants d'Israël, Dit l'Eternel des armées.
4 En ce jour, la gloire de Jacob sera affaiblie, Et la graisse de sa chair s'évanouira.
5 Il en sera comme quand le moissonneur récolte les blés, Et que son bras coupe les épis; Comme quand on ramasse les épis, Dans la vallée de Rephaïm.
6 Il en restera un grappillage, comme quand on secoue l'olivier, Deux, trois olives, au haut de la cime, Quatre, cinq, dans ses branches à fruits, Dit l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël.
