Isaiah 13:7

7 propter hoc omnes manus dissolventur et omne cor hominis tabescet

Isaiah 13:7 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 13:7

Therefore shall all hands be faint
Or hang down; that is, the hands of all the Babylonians, the city being taken suddenly and at once, so that they should not be able to lift them up to lay hold on a weapon, and defend themselves: and every man's heart shall melt;
like wax before the fire; be dispirited, and lose all their valour and courage, have neither power nor heart to resist their enemies, and attempt to save themselves.

Isaiah 13:7 In-Context

5 venientibus de terra procul a summitate caeli Dominus et vasa furoris eius ut disperdat omnem terram

6 ululate quia prope est dies Domini quasi vastitas a Domino veniet

7 propter hoc omnes manus dissolventur et omne cor hominis tabescet

8 et conteretur tortiones et dolores tenebunt quasi parturiens dolebunt unusquisque ad proximum suum stupebit facies conbustae vultus eorum

9 ecce dies Domini venit crudelis et indignationis plenus et irae furorisque ad ponendam terram in solitudine et peccatores eius conterendos de ea
