Listen to Isaías 17:4
4 Y será que en aquel tiempo la gloria de Jacob se atenuará, y enflaqueceráse la grosura de su carne.

Isaías 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.''

Isaías 17:4 In-Context

2 Las ciudades de Aroer desamparadas, en majadas se tornarán; dormirán allí, y no habrá quien los espante.
3 Y cesará el socorro de Ephraim, y el reino de Damasco; y lo que quedare de Siria, será como la gloria de los hijos de Israel, dice Jehová de los ejércitos.
4 Y será que en aquel tiempo la gloria de Jacob se atenuará, y enflaqueceráse la grosura de su carne.
5 Y será como cuando el segador coge la mies, y con su brazo siega las espigas: será también como el que coge espigas en el valle de Rephaim.
6 Y quedarán en él rebuscos, como cuando sacuden el aceituno, dos ó tres granos en la punta del ramo, cuatro ó cinco en sus ramas fructíferas, dice Jehová Dios de Israel.
