Isaías 28:2

2 He aquí, el SEÑOR tiene uno valiente y fuerte que viene como turbión de granizo, y como torbellino trastornador; como ímpetu de recias aguas que salen de madre, con fuerza de mano derriba a tierra.

Isaías 28:2 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 28:2

Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one
That is, a powerful king, with a mighty army, meaning Shalmaneser king of Assyria; whom the Lord had at his beck and command, and could use at his pleasure, as his instrument, to bring down the towering pride of Ephraim, and chastise him for his sensuality: [which] as a tempest of hail;
that beats down herbs and plants, and branches of trees, and men and beasts: [and] a destroying storm;
which carries all before it, blows down houses and trees, and makes terrible devastation wherever it comes: as a flood of mighty waters overflowing;
whose torrent is so strong there is no stopping it: so this mighty and powerful prince shall cast down to the earth with the hand;
the crown of pride, the people of Israel, and the king of it; he shall take the crown from his head, and cast it to the ground with a strong hand, as the Jews interpret it, with great violence; or very easily, with one hand, as it were, without any trouble at all. The Targum is,

``so shall people come against them, and remove them out of their own land into another land, because of the sins which were in their hands;''

see ( Isaiah 8:7 ) .

Isaías 28:2 In-Context

1 ¡Ay de la corona de soberbia, de los ebrios de Efraín, y de la flor caduca de la hermosura de su gloria, que está sobre la cabeza del valle fértil de los aturdidos del vino!

2 He aquí, el SEÑOR tiene uno valiente y fuerte que viene como turbión de granizo, y como torbellino trastornador; como ímpetu de recias aguas que salen de madre, con fuerza de mano derriba a tierra.

3 Con los pies será hollada la corona de soberbia de los borrachos de Efraín;

4 y será la flor caduca de la hermosura de su gloria, que está sobre la cabeza del valle fértil, como la breva temprana, que viene primero que los otros frutos del verano, la cual, viéndola el que la mira, se la traga tan luego como la tiene a mano.

5 En aquel día el SEÑOR de los ejércitos será por corona de gloria y diadema de hermosura al remanente de su pueblo;
