Jesaja 10:32

32 Nog een dag blijft hij te Nob; hij zal zijn hand bewegen tegen den berg der dochter van Sion, den heuvel van Jeruzalem.

Jesaja 10:32 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 10:32

As yet shall he remain at Nob that day
The same day he came from Gebim; and proceed no further as yet, but make a short stay, and prepare himself and army to march to Jerusalem the next day: the Jews say ^F12, that he performed all his journeys in one day; the same day he came to Ajath he came to Nob, where he stayed the remaining part of the day. Nob was a city of the priests, ( 1 Samuel 22:19 ) and so it is called in the Targum here; it was so near Jerusalem, that, as Jarchi and Kimchi say, it might be seen from hence; wherefore here he stood, in sight of Jerusalem; against the wall of it, the Targum says; and did as follows:

he shall shake his hand [against] the mount of the daughter of
Zion, the hill of Jerusalem;
threatening what he would do to it, and despising it as unable to hold out against him; or the sense is this, yet a day, or in a day's time, from the last place where he was; he shall come to Nob, and there shall he stop, and go no further: or, "the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem, shall shake its hand"; bidding him defiance, insulting over him, or rejoicing at the fall of the Assyrian army. Wherefore it follows:

Jesaja 10:32 In-Context

30 Roep luide met uw stem, gij dochter van Gallim! laat ze horen tot Lais toe, o ellendige Anathoth!

31 Madmena vliedt weg, de inwoners van Gebim vluchten met hopen.

32 Nog een dag blijft hij te Nob; hij zal zijn hand bewegen tegen den berg der dochter van Sion, den heuvel van Jeruzalem.

33 Doch ziet, de Heere HEERE der heirscharen zal met geweld de takken afkappen, en die hoog van gestalte zijn, zullen nedergehouwen worden; en de verhevenen zullen vernederd worden.

34 En Hij zal met ijzer de verwarde struiken des wouds omhouwen; en de Libanon zal vallen door den Heerlijke.
