Isaías 14:17 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:17

[That] made the world as a wilderness
Both by destroying the inhabitants of it, and by laying waste cities, towns, villages, fields, vineyards, gardens, and all places improved and cultivated, wherever he came, as it follows: and destroyed the cities thereof;
as the Assyrian kings had done, some of which are mentioned in ( Isaiah 10:9 ) ( Isaiah 37:11-13 Isaiah 37:18 ) : [that] opened not the house of his prisoners;
the prison house, in, which they were held; or,

``the gate to his prisoners,''

as the Targum; or rather the words may be rendered, "that opened not to his prisoners", that they might go "home"; or as De Dieu, in short, yet fully, expresses it, "that did not dismiss his prisoners home"; he not only cruelly and inhumanly put many to the sword, but such as surrendered, and were taken captives, he detained them in prison, and would not loose their bonds, but let them die there; which was an instance of great cruelty and inhumanity.

Isaías 14:17 In-Context

15 Mas às profundezas do Sheol você será levado,irá ao fundo do abismo!

16 Os que olham para você admiram-se da sua situação,e a seu respeito ponderam:“É esse o homem que fazia tremer a terra,abalava os reinos,

17 fez do mundo um deserto,conquistou cidadese não deixou que os seus prisioneiros voltassem para casa?”

18 Todos os reis das nações jazem honrosamente,cada um em seu próprio túmulo.

19 Mas você é atirado fora do seu túmulo,como um galho rejeitado;como as roupas dos mortosque foram feridos à espada;como os que descem às pedras da cova;como um cadáver pisoteado,
