Isaia 17:4 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 17:4

And in that day it shall come to pass
It being much about the same time that both kingdoms were destroyed by the Assyrians: [that] the glory of Jacob shall be made thin;
the same with Ephraim and Israel, the ten tribes, whose glory lay in the superior number of their tribes to Judah; in the multitude of their cities, and the inhabitants of them; but now would be thinned, by the vast numbers that should be carried captive: and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean:
like a man in a consumption, that is become a mere skeleton, and reduced to skin and bones: the meaning is, that all their wealth and riches should be taken away; so the Targum,

``and the riches of his glory shall be carried away.''

Isaia 17:4 In-Context

2 Le città d’Aroer sono abbandonate; son lasciate alle mandre che vi si riposano e niuno le spaventa.
3 Non vi sarà più fortezza in Efraim né reame in Damasco; e del residuo di Siria avverrà quel ch’è avvenuto della gloria de’ figliuoli d’Israele, dice l’Eterno degli eserciti.
4 In quel giorno, la gloria di Giacobbe sarà menomata, e la pinguedine del suo corpo dimagrerà.
5 Avverrà come quando il mietitore raccoglie il grano, e col braccio falcia le spighe; avverrà come quando si raccolgon le spighe nella valle di Refaim.
6 Vi rimarrà qualcosa da spigolare, come quando si scuote l’ulivo restan due o tre ulive nelle cime più alte, quattro o cinque nei rami più carichi, dice l’Eterno, l’Iddio d’Israele.
