Isaías 47:15

15 Isso é tudo o que eles podem fazer por você,esses com quem você se afadigoue com quem teve negócios escusos desde a infância.Cada um deles prossegue em seu erro;não há ninguém que possa salvá-la.

Isaías 47:15 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 47:15

Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured,
&c.] In training them up in those arts, and in consulting with them in cases of difficulty; in which they were of no service, and now in time of danger as useless as stubble, or a blaze of straw: even thy merchants from thy youth;
either the above astrologers and diviners, who had been with them from the beginning of their state; and who had made merchandise of them, and were become rich as merchants by telling fortunes, and predicting things to come by the stars; which sense our version leads to by supplying the word "even"; or rather merchants in a literal sense, which Babylon abounded with from the first building of it; it being the metropolis of the empire, and the mart of nations: these, upon the destruction of the city, shall wander everyone to his quarter,
or "passage" ^F25; to the country from whence they came, and to the passage in that part of the city which led unto it; or to the passage over the river Euphrates, which ran through the city; or to the next port, from whence they might have a passage by shipping to their own land: it denotes the fright and fugitive state in which merchants, from other countries, should be in, when this calamity should come upon Babylon; that they should leave their effects, flee for their lives, and wander about till they got a passage over to their native place, and be of no service to the Chaldeans, as follows: none shall save thee:
neither astrologers nor merchants; so the merchants of mystical Babylon will get without the city, and stand afar off, and lament her sad case, but will not be able to help her, ( Revelation 18:15 ) .

Isaías 47:15 In-Context

13 Todos os conselhos que você recebeu só a deixaram extenuada!Deixe seus astrólogos se apresentarem,aqueles fitadores de estrelas que fazem predições de mês a mês,que eles a salvem daquilo que está vindo sobre você;

14 sem dúvida eles são como restolho;o fogo os consumirá.Eles não podem nem mesmo salvar-sedo poder das chamas.Aqui não existem brasas para aquecer ninguém;não há fogueira para a gente sentar-se ao lado.

15 Isso é tudo o que eles podem fazer por você,esses com quem você se afadigoue com quem teve negócios escusos desde a infância.Cada um deles prossegue em seu erro;não há ninguém que possa salvá-la.
