Isaías 14:30

30 Los más desvalidos pacerán como ovejas,los necesitados descansarán seguros.Pero mataré de hambre a su raíz;destruiré a sus sobrevivientes.

Isaías 14:30 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:30

And the firstborn of the poor shall feed
That is, the Jews, who were brought very low in the times of Ahaz, reduced to the greatest straits and difficulties; for so the word "firstborn" may signify the chief, or those who were of all the poorest, and in the greatest distress; these, in the times of Hezekiah, shall enjoy abundance of good things, and under his gentle government shall feed like a flock of sheep in good pastures; this signifying, that though he should be like a serpent, harmful to his enemies, yet should be kind and tender unto, and take great care of his own subjects, and under whom they should have great plenty and prosperity: and the needy shall lie down in safety;
like a flock of sheep, secure from beasts of prey, under the care of a faithful and vigilant shepherd; this shows that the Jews should not only have plenty of good things, but should live in the greatest security, without fear of any enemy, or danger from them: and I will kill thy root with famine;
this is said to Palestine, compared to a tree, whose root is dried up for want of moisture, and so dies; and the meaning is, that a sore famine should rage in their country, and utterly destroy them: and he shall slay thy remnant:
that is, Hezekiah should slay with the sword those that were left of the famine.

Isaías 14:30 In-Context

28 Esta profecía vino a Isaías el año en que murió el rey Acaz:

29 Todos ustedes filisteos,no se alegren de que se haya rotoel bastón que los golpeaba;porque una víbora saldráde la raíz de la serpiente;su fruto será una serpiente voladora.

30 Los más desvalidos pacerán como ovejas,los necesitados descansarán seguros.Pero mataré de hambre a su raíz;destruiré a sus sobrevivientes.

31 ¡Gime y grita, puerta de la ciudad!¡Ponte a temblar de miedo, Filistea entera!Porque viene del norte una nube de humo,y nadie rompe la formación.

32 ¿Qué respuesta se dará a los mensajeros de esa nación?Pues que el SEÑOR ha afirmado a Sión,y que allí se refugiaránlos afligidos de su pueblo.
