Isaías 21:1-10

Listen to Isaías 21:1-10

Profecia contra a Babilônia

1 Advertência contra o deserto junto ao mar:Como um vendaval em redemoinhos que varre todo o Neguebe,um invasor vem do deserto,de uma terra pavorosa.
2 Eu tive uma visão terrível:O traidor fora traído, o saqueador, saqueado.Elão, vá à luta! Média, feche o cerco!Porque ponho fim a todo gemido que ela provocou.
3 Diante disso fiquei tomado de angústia,tive dores como as de uma mulher em trabalho de parto;estou tão transtornado que não posso ouvir,tão atônito que não posso ver.
4 O meu coração se estremece,o temor toma conta de mim;o anoitecer que eu tanto aguardavatransformou-se em terror para mim.
5 Eles põem as mesas, estendem a toalha,comem, bebem!Levantem-se, líderes,preparem os escudos!
6 Assim me diz o Senhor:“Vá, coloque um vigia de prontidãopara que anuncie tudo o que se aproximar.
7 Quando ele vir carroscom parelhas de cavalos,homens montados em jumentosou em camelos,fique alerta, bem alerta”.
8 Então o vigia[a] gritou:“Dia após dia, meu senhor, eu fico na torre das sentinelas;todas as noites permaneço em meu posto.
9 Veja! Ali vem um homem num carrocom uma parelha de cavalos,e ele diz:‘Caiu! A Babilônia caiu!Todas as imagens dos seus deusesestão despedaçadas no chão!’ ”
10 Ah, meu povo malhado na eira!Eu conto a vocês o que ouvida parte do SENHOR dos Exércitos,da parte do Deus de Israel.

Isaías 21:1-10 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 21

This chapter contains prophecies against Babylon, Idumea, and Arabia. The prophecy against Babylon is called "the burden of the desert of the sea"; whose enemies are described by the fierce manner of their coming, and by the land from whence they came, Isa 21:1 which vision being declared to the prophet, is called a grievous one; what made it so was treachery among themselves; and the Medes and Persians are invited to besiege them, Isa 21:2 their terror and distress upon it are represented by the pains of a woman in travail, whom the prophet personates, Isa 21:3,4 and by the methods they took to defend themselves, to which they were alarmed, when in the greatest security and jollity, Isa 21:5 all which is illustrated by the vision of the watchman, who saw the Medes and Persians on the march, signified by a chariot and a couple of horsemen, who declares the fall of Babylon, and the destruction of its gods, Isa 21:6-9 which would issue in the good and comfort of the church and people of God, Isa 21:10 then follows the prophecy against Idumea, which consists of a question put to the watchman, and his answer to it; to which an exhortation is added, Isa 21:11,12 and the chapter concludes with another prophecy against Arabia: the calamities threatened are lodging in a forest, thirst, famine, and fleeing from the sword Isa 21:13-15, and the time is fixed when all this should be, by which their glory would fail, and the number of their archers and mighty men be lessened; for the confirmation of which the divine testimony is annexed, Isa 21:16,17.
