Isaías 14:5

5 Pues el Señor
aplastó tu poder malvado
y puso fin a tu reino perverso.

Isaías 14:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:5

The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked
This is an answer to the above question, how the exactor and his tribute came to cease; this was not by man, but by the Lord himself; for though he made use of Cyrus, the work was his own, he broke the power of the wicked kings of Babylon: [and] the sceptre of the rulers;
that were under the king of Babylon; or of the several kings themselves, Nebuchadnezzar, Evilmerodach, and Belshazzar; so Kimchi interprets it. This may be applied to the kingdom of antichrist, and the antichristian states, which shall be broken to shivers as a potter's vessel by Christ, the King of kings, and Lord of lords, ( Revelation 2:27 ) ( Revelation 19:15 Revelation 19:16 ) . The "staff" and "sceptre" are emblems of power and government; and "breaking" them signifies the utter destruction and cessation of authority and dominion.

Isaías 14:5 In-Context

3 En aquel día maravilloso cuando el Señor
le dé descanso a su pueblo de sus angustias y temores, de la esclavitud y de las cadenas,

4 te mofarás del rey de Babilonia y dirás:
«El hombre poderoso ha sido destruido.
Sí, se acabó tu insolencia.

5 Pues el Señor
aplastó tu poder malvado
y puso fin a tu reino perverso.

6 Atacabas al pueblo con incesantes golpes de furia
y dominabas a las naciones dentro de tu poder sofocante
con una tiranía implacable.

7 Sin embargo, finalmente la tierra está en reposo y tranquila.
¡Ahora puede volver a cantar!
