Yeshayah 13:7 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 13:7

Therefore shall all hands be faint
Or hang down; that is, the hands of all the Babylonians, the city being taken suddenly and at once, so that they should not be able to lift them up to lay hold on a weapon, and defend themselves: and every man's heart shall melt;
like wax before the fire; be dispirited, and lose all their valour and courage, have neither power nor heart to resist their enemies, and attempt to save themselves.

Yeshayah 13:7 In-Context

5 They come from an eretz merchak (a far country), from the end of Shomayim, Hashem, and the weapons of His indignation, to destroy Kol HaAretz.

6 Wail ye; for the Yom Hashem is karov (near); it shall come like shod (sudden destruction) from Shaddai.

7 Therefore shall kol yadayim (all hands) fall weak, and kol levav enosh shall melt;

8 And they shall be afraid; pangs and chavalim (pains) shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain like a woman that travaileth in childbirth; one shall be aghast at his re’a; their faces shall be like flaming visages.

9 Hinei, the Yom Hashem cometh, cruel both with wrath and charon af (fierce anger), to lay the land desolate; and He shall destroy the chatta’im (sinners) thereof out of it.
