Ésaïe 9:20 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 9:20

And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry
Either with his hand, and rob and plunder all within his reach; or, with his teeth, as cannibals, or beasts of prey, catch at, tear, and rend in pieces, whatever comes in their way; and yet hungry after more, and unsatisfied, as follows: and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied;
ravage and spoil on every side, and yet not content. The Targum is,

``he shall spoil on the south, and be hungry; and he shall destroy on the north, and not be satisfied:''

they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm;
destroy their near relations, who are their own flesh and blood, or take away their substance from them; so the Targum,

``they shall spoil every man the substance of his neighbour:''

which will give some light to ( Revelation 17:16 ) .

Ésaïe 9:20 In-Context

18 La colère de l'Éternel des armées embrase le pays, et le peuple devient la proie du feu; nul n'épargne son frère.

19 On déchire à droite, et l'on a faim; on dévore à gauche, et l'on n'est pas rassasié; chacun mange la chair de son bras.

20 Manassé dévore Éphraïm; et Éphraïm, Manassé. Ensemble, ils fondent sur Juda. Malgré tout cela, sa colère ne s'arrête pas, et sa main est toujours étendue!
