Juicio contra Asiria

13 Él extenderá su mano contra el norte;aniquilará a Asiriay convertirá a Nínive en desolación,árida como un desierto.

Sofonías 2:13 Meaning and Commentary

Zephaniah 2:13

And he will stretch out his hand against the north
Either the Lord, or Nebuchadnezzar his sword; who, as he would subdue the nations that lay southward, he would lead his army northward against the land of Assyria, which lay to the north of Judea, as next explained: and destroy Assyria;
that famous monarchy, which had ruled over the kingdoms of the earth, now should come to an end, and be reduced to subjection to the king of Babylon: and will make Nineveh a desolation;
which was the capital city, the metropolis of the Assyrian monarchy: Nahum prophesies at large of the destruction of this city: [and] dry like a wilderness;
which before was a very watery place, situated by rivers, particularly the river Tigris; so that it was formerly like a pool of water, ( Nahum 2:6 Nahum 2:8 ) but now should be dry like a heath or desert, Dr. Prideaux places the destruction of Nineveh in the twenty ninth year of Josiah's reign; but Bishop Usher earlier, in the sixteenth year of his reign; and, if so, then Zephaniah, who here prophesies of it, must begin to prophesy in the former part of Josiah's reign.

Sofonías 2:13 In-Context

11 El SEÑOR los aterrarácuando destruya a todos los dioses de la tierra;y así hasta las naciones más remotasse postrarán en adoración ante él,cada cual en su propia tierra.
12 «También ustedes, cusitas,serán atravesados por mi espada».
13 Él extenderá su mano contra el norte;aniquilará a Asiriay convertirá a Nínive en desolación,árida como un desierto.
14 Se tenderán en medio de ella los rebaños,todos los animales del campo.Pasarán la noche sobre sus columnastanto el pelícano como la garza.Resonarán por las ventanas sus graznidos,habrá asolamiento en los umbrales,las vigas de cedro quedarán al descubierto.
15 Esta es la ciudad alegreque habitaba segura,la que se decía a sí misma:«Yo y nadie más».¡Cómo ha quedado convertida en espanto,en guarida de fieras!Todo el que pasa junto a ellase mofa y le hace gestos con las manos.
