Isaías 17:3-13

Listen to Isaías 17:3-13
3 Y cesarĂ¡ el socorro de EfraĂ­n, y el reino de Damasco; y lo que quedare de Siria, serĂ¡ como la gloria de los hijos de Israel, dice el SEĂ‘OR de los ejĂ©rcitos.
4 Y serĂ¡, que en aquel tiempo la gloria de Jacob se atenuarĂ¡, y se enflaquecerĂ¡ la grosura de su carne.
5 Y serĂ¡ como el segador que coge la mies, y con su brazo siega las espigas; serĂ¡ tambiĂ©n, como el que coge espigas en el valle de Refaim.
6 Y quedarĂ¡n en Ă©l rebuscos, como cuando sacuden el aceituno, que quedan ahĂ­ dos o tres granos en la punta de la rama, cuatro o cinco frutos en sus ramas, dice el SEĂ‘OR Dios de Israel.
7 En aquel dĂ­a mirarĂ¡ el hombre a su Hacedor, y sus ojos contemplarĂ¡n al Santo de Israel.
8 Y no mirarĂ¡ a los altares que hicieron sus manos, ni mirarĂ¡ a lo que hicieron sus dedos, ni a los bosques, ni a las imĂ¡genes del Sol.
9 En aquel dĂ­a las ciudades de su fortaleza serĂ¡n como los frutos que quedan en los renuevos y en las ramas. Como lo que dejaron de los hijos de Israel; y serĂ¡ asolamiento.
10 Porque te olvidaste del Dios de tu salud; y no te acordaste de la Roca de tu fortaleza. Por tanto plantarĂ¡s plantas hermosas, y sembrarĂ¡s sarmiento extraño.
11 El dĂ­a que las plantares, las harĂ¡s crecer; y harĂ¡s que tu simiente brote de mañana; mas en el dĂ­a del coger, huirĂ¡ la cosecha, y serĂ¡ dolor desesperado.
12 ¡Ay! multitud de muchos pueblos, que sonarĂ¡n como sonido del mar; y murmullo de naciones harĂ¡n alboroto como murmullo de muchas aguas.
13 Pueblos harĂ¡n ruido a manera de ruido de grandes aguas; pero Dios los reprenderĂ¡, y huirĂ¡n lejos; serĂ¡n ahuyentados, como el tamo de los montes delante del viento; y como el cardo delante del torbellino.

Isaías 17:3-13 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 17

This chapter contains a prophecy of the ruin of Syria and Israel, the ten tribes; who were in alliance; and also of the overthrow of the Assyrian army, that should come against Judah. The destruction of Damascus, the metropolis of Syria, and of other cities, is threatened, Isa 17:1,2 yea, of the whole kingdom of Syria, together with Ephraim or the ten tribes, and Samaria the head of them, Isa 17:3 whose destruction is expressed by various similes, as by thinness and leanness, and by the reaping and gathering of corn, Isa 17:4,5 and yet a remnant should be preserved, compared to gleaning gapes, and a few berries on an olive tree, who should look to the Lord, and not to idols, Isa 17:6-8 and the reason of the desolation of their cities, and of their fields and vineyards, was their forgetfulness of the Lord, Isa 17:9-11 and the chapter is closed with a prophecy of the defeat of the Assyrian army, who are compared for their multitude and noise to the seas, and to mighty waters, and the noise and rushing of them, Isa 17:12 and yet should be, at the rebuke of God, as chaff, or any small light thing, before a blustering wind, Isa 17:13 and who, in the evening, would be a trouble to the Jews, and be dead before morning; which was to be the portion of the spoilers and plunderers of the Lord's people, Isa 17:14.
