Isaías 17
Nueva Traducción BibliaTodo (NTBT) · Español
1 Profecía sobre Damasco. «Miren, Damasco dejará de ser ciudad y se convertirá en un montón de ruinas. 2 Las ciudades de Aroer estarán abandonadas; serán para los rebaños, que se acostarán allí sin que nadie los espante. 3 Desaparecerán la fortaleza de Efraín y el reino de Damasco; lo que quede de Aram será como la gloria de los hijos de Israel», declara Jehová de los ejércitos. 4 «En aquel día disminuirá la gloria de Jacob y su cuerpo perderá su gordura. 5 Será como cuando el segador recoge la mies y su brazo siega las espigas; será como el que recoge espigas en el valle de Refaim. 6 Quedarán en él rebuscos, como cuando se sacude un olivo: dos o tres aceitunas en la rama más alta, cuatro o cinco en las ramas fructíferas», declara Jehová, Dios de Israel. 7 En aquel día el ser humano mirará a su Hacedor, y sus ojos contemplarán al Santo de Israel. 8 No mirará a los altares, obra de sus manos, ni contemplará lo que hicieron sus dedos: los postes de Asera y los altares de incienso. 9 En aquel día sus ciudades fortificadas serán como lo abandonado del bosque y de las ramas más altas, que dejaron ante los hijos de Israel; y habrá desolación. 10 Porque has olvidado al Dios de tu salvación y no te has acordado de la Roca de tu refugio. Por eso plantas plantas agradables y siembras sarmientos extranjeros. 11 El día en que plantas las haces crecer, y por la mañana haces florecer tu semilla; pero la cosecha desaparecerá en un día de enfermedad y dolor incurable. 12 ¡Ay, el tumulto de muchos pueblos, que braman como el bramido de los mares! ¡El estruendo de las naciones, que rugen como el rugido de aguas impetuosas! 13 Las naciones rugen como el rugido de muchas aguas, pero él las reprende y huyen lejos, perseguidas como la paja de los montes ante el viento, como un cardo rodante ante el vendaval. 14 Al atardecer hay terror; antes de la mañana ya no existe. Esta es la parte de los que nos despojan y la suerte de los que nos saquean.

Isaías 17:1
Is 17:1-11. Prophecy Concerning Damascus and Its Ally Samaria, that is, Syria and Israel, which had leagued together (seventh and eighth chapters).
Already, Tiglath-pileser had carried away the people of Damascus to Kir, in the fourth year of Ahaz (2Ki 16:9); but now in Hezekiah's reign a further overthrow is foretold (Jr 49:23; Zec 9:1). Also, Shalmaneser carried away Israel from Samaria to Assyria (2Ki 17:6; 18:10, 11) in the sixth year of Hezekiah of Judah (the ninth year of Hoshea of Israel). This prophecy was, doubtless, given previously in the first years of Hezekiah when the foreign nations came into nearer collision with Judah, owing to the threatening aspect of Assyria.
1. Damascus--put before Israel (Ephraim, Is 17:3), which is chiefly referred to in what follows, because it was the prevailing power in the league; with it Ephraim either stood or fell (Is 7:1-25).
Isaías 17:2
2. cities of Aroer--that is, the cities round Aroer, and under its jurisdiction [Gesenius]. So "cities with their villages" (Jos 15:44); "Heshbon and all her cities" (Jos 13:17). Aroer was near Rabbahammon, at the river of Gad, an arm of the Jabbok (2Sa 24:5), founded by the Gadites (Nu 32:34).
for flocks--(Is 5:17).
Isaías 17:3
Isaías 17:4
Isaías 17:5
5. harvestman, &c.--The inhabitants and wealth of Israel shall be swept away, and but few left behind just as the husbandman gathers the corn and the fruit, and leaves only a few gleaning ears and grapes (2Ki 18:9-11).
with his arm--He collects the standing grain with one arm, so that he can cut it with the sickle in the other hand.
Rephaim--a fertile plain at the southwest of Jerusalem toward Beth-lehem and the country of the Philistines (2Sa 5:18-22).
Isaías 17:6
6. in it--that is, in the land of Israel.
two or three ... in the top--A few poor inhabitants shall be left in Israel, like the two or three olive berries left on the topmost boughs, which it is not worth while taking the trouble to try to reach.
Isaías 17:7
Isaías 17:8
8. groves--A symbolical tree is often found in Assyrian inscriptions, representing the hosts of heaven ("Saba"), answering to Ashteroth or Astarte, the queen of heaven, as Baal or Bel is the king. Hence the expression, "image of the grove," is explained (2Ki 21:7).
images--literally, "images to the sun," that is, to Baal, who answers to the sun, as Astarte to the hosts of heaven (2Ki 23:5; Job 31:26).
Isaías 17:9
9. forsaken bough--rather "the leavings of woods," what the axeman leaves when he cuts down the grove (compare Is 17:6).
which they left because of--rather, "which (the enemies) shall leave for the children of Israel"; literally, "shall leave (in departing) from before the face of the children of Israel" [Maurer]. But a few cities out of many shall be left to Israel, by the purpose of God, executed by the Assyrian.
Isaías 17:10
Isaías 17:11
11. In the day ... thy plant--rather, "In the day of thy planting" [Horsley].
shalt ... make ... grow--Maurer translates, "Thou didst fence it," namely, the pleasure-ground. The parallel clause, "Make ... flourish," favors English Version. As soon as thou plantest, it grows.
in the morning--that is, immediately after; so in Psa 90:14, the Hebrew, "in the morning," is translated "early."
but ... shall be a heap--rather, "but (promising as was the prospect) the harvest is gone" [Horsley].
in ... day of grief--rather, "in the day of (expected) possession" [Maurer]. "In the day of inundation" [Horsley].
of desperate sorrow--rather, "And the sorrow shall be desperate or irremediable." In English Version "heap" and "sorrow" may be taken together by hendiadys. "The heap of the harvest shall be desperate sorrow" [Rosenmuller].
Is 17:12-18:7. Sudden Destruction of a Great Army in Judea (namely that of the Assyrian Sennacherib), AND Announcement of the Event to the Ethiopian Ambassadors.
The connection of this fragment with what precedes is: notwithstanding the calamities coming on Israel, the people of God shall not be utterly destroyed (Is 6:12, 13); the Assyrian spoilers shall perish (Is 17:13, 14).
Isaías 17:12
12. Woe ... multitude--rather, "Ho (Hark)! a noise of," &c. The prophet in vision perceives the vast and mixed Assyrian hosts (Hebrew, "many peoples," see on Is 5:26): on the hills of Judah (so "mountains," Is 17:13): but at the "rebuke" of God, they shall "flee as chaff."
to the rushing ... that make--rather, "the roaring ... roareth" (compare Is 8:7; Jr 6:23).
Isaías 17:13
13. shall ... shall--rather, "God rebuketh (Psa 9:5) them, and they flee--are chased"; the event is set before the eyes as actually present, not future.
chaff of ... mountains--Threshing floors in the East are in the open air on elevated places, so as to catch the wind which separates the chaff from the wheat (Psa 88:13; Ho 13:3).
rolling thing--anything that rolls: stubble.
Isaías 17:14
14. eventide ... before morning--fulfilled to the letter in the destruction "before morning" of the vast host that "at eveningtide" was such a terror ("trouble") to Judah; on the phrase see Psa 90:6; 30:5.
he is not--namely, the enemy.
us--the Jews. A general declaration of the doom that awaits the foes of God's people (Is 54:17).
