Ésaïe 37:19 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 37:19

And, have cast their gods into the fire.
&c.] And burnt them; and it may well be asked, where are they? ( Isaiah 36:19 ) : for they were no gods, but the works of men's hands, wood and stone;
they were made of wood or of stone, and therefore could not be called gods; nor could they save the nations that worshipped them, nor themselves, from the fire: therefore they have destroyed them;
the Assyrian kings were able to do it, and did do it, because they were idols of wood or stone; but it did not therefore follow, that they were a match for the God of Israel, the true, and living God.

Ésaïe 37:19 In-Context

17 Eternel, incline ton oreille, et écoute! Eternel, ouvre tes yeux, et regarde! Entends toutes les paroles que Sanchérib a envoyées pour insulter au Dieu vivant!
18 Il est vrai, ô Eternel! que les rois d'Assyrie ont ravagé tous les pays et leur propre pays,
19 et qu'ils ont jeté leurs dieux dans le feu; mais ce n'étaient point des dieux, c'étaient des ouvrages de mains d'homme, du bois et de la pierre; et ils les ont anéantis.
20 Maintenant, Eternel, notre Dieu, délivre-nous de la main de Sanchérib, et que tous les royaumes de la terre sachent que toi seul es l'Eternel!
21 Alors Esaïe, fils d'Amots, envoya dire à Ezéchias: Ainsi parle l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël: J'ai entendu la prière que tu m'as adressée au sujet de Sanchérib, roi d'Assyrie.
