1¡Ay de los hijos que se apartan, dice Jehová, para tomar consejo, y no de mí; para cobijarse con cubierta, y no de mi espíritu, añadiendo pecado a pecado!
2Que se apartan para descender a Egipto, y no han preguntado de mi boca; para fortalecerse con la fuerza de Faraón, y poner su esperanza en la sombra de Egipto.
3Pero la fuerza de Faraón se os cambiará en vergüenza, y el amparo en la sombra de Egipto en confusión.
4Cuando estén sus príncipes en Zoán, y sus embajadores lleguen a Hanes,
5todos se avergonzarán del pueblo que no les aprovecha, ni los socorre, ni les trae provecho; antes les será para vergüenza y aun para oprobio.
6Profecía sobre las bestias del Neguev: Por tierra de tribulación y de angustia, de donde salen la leona y el león, la víbora y la serpiente que vuela, llevan sobre lomos de asnos sus riquezas, y sus tesoros sobre jorobas de camellos, a un pueblo que no les será de provecho.
7Ciertamente Egipto en vano e inútilmente dará ayuda; por tanto yo le di voces, que su fortaleza sería estarse quietos.
8Ve, pues, ahora, y escribe esta visión en una tabla delante de ellos, y regístrala en un libro, para que quede hasta el día postrero, eternamente y para siempre.
9Porque este pueblo es rebelde, hijos mentirosos, hijos que no quisieron oír la ley de Jehová;
10que dicen a los videntes: No veáis; y a los profetas: No nos profeticéis lo recto, decidnos cosas halagüeñas, profetizad mentiras;
11dejad el camino, apartaos de la senda, quitad de nuestra presencia al Santo de Israel.
12Por tanto, el Santo de Israel dice así: Porque desechasteis esta palabra, y confiasteis en violencia y en iniquidad, y en ello os habéis apoyado;
13por tanto, os será este pecado como grieta que amenaza ruina, extendiéndose en una pared elevada, cuya caída viene súbita y repentinamente.
14Y se quebrará como se quiebra un vaso de alfarero, que sin misericordia lo hacen pedazos; tanto, que entre los pedazos no se halla tiesto para traer fuego del hogar, o para sacar agua del pozo.
15Porque así dijo Jehová el Señor, el Santo de Israel: En descanso y en reposo seréis salvos; en quietud y en confianza será vuestra fortaleza. Y no quisisteis,
16sino que dijisteis: No, antes huiremos en caballos; por tanto, vosotros huiréis. Sobre corceles veloces cabalgaremos; por tanto, serán veloces vuestros perseguidores.
17Un millar huirá a la amenaza de uno; a la amenaza de cinco huiréis vosotros todos, hasta que quedéis como mástil en la cumbre de un monte, y como bandera sobre una colina.
18Por tanto, Jehová esperará para tener piedad de vosotros, y por tanto, será exaltado teniendo de vosotros misericordia; porque Jehová es Dios justo; bienaventurados todos los que confían en él.
19Ciertamente el pueblo morará en Sion, en Jerusalén; nunca más llorarás; el que tiene misericordia se apiadará de ti; al oír la voz de tu clamor te responderá.
20Bien que os dará el Señor pan de congoja y agua de angustia, con todo, tus maestros nunca más te serán quitados, sino que tus ojos verán a tus maestros.
21Entonces tus oídos oirán a tus espaldas palabra que diga: Este es el camino, andad por él; y no echéis a la mano derecha, ni tampoco torzáis a la mano izquierda.
22Entonces profanarás la cubierta de tus esculturas de plata, y la vestidura de tus imágenes fundidas de oro; las apartarás como trapo asqueroso; ¡Sal fuera! les dirás.
23Entonces dará el Señor lluvia a tu sementera, cuando siembres la tierra, y dará pan del fruto de la tierra, y será abundante y pingüe; tus ganados en aquel tiempo serán apacentados en espaciosas dehesas.
24Tus bueyes y tus asnos que labran la tierra comerán grano limpio, aventado con pala y criba.
25Y sobre todo monte alto, y sobre todo collado elevado, habrá ríos y corrientes de aguas el día de la gran matanza, cuando caerán las torres.
26Y la luz de la luna será como la luz del sol, y la luz del sol siete veces mayor, como la luz de siete días, el día que vendare Jehová la herida de su pueblo, y curare la llaga que él causó.
27He aquí que el nombre de Jehová viene de lejos; su rostro encendido, y con llamas de fuego devorador; sus labios llenos de ira, y su lengua como fuego que consume.
28Su aliento, cual torrente que inunda; llegará hasta el cuello, para zarandear a las naciones con criba de destrucción; y el freno estará en las quijadas de los pueblos, haciéndoles errar.
29Vosotros tendréis cántico como de noche en que se celebra pascua, y alegría de corazón, como el que va con flauta para venir al monte de Jehová, al Fuerte de Israel.
30Y Jehová hará oír su potente voz, y hará ver el descenso de su brazo, con furor de rostro y llama de fuego consumidor, con torbellino, tempestad y piedra de granizo.
31Porque Asiria que hirió con vara, con la voz de Jehová será quebrantada.
32Y cada golpe de la vara justiciera que asiente Jehová sobre él, será con panderos y con arpas; y en batalla tumultuosa peleará contra ellos.
33Porque Tofet ya de tiempo está dispuesto y preparado para el rey, profundo y ancho, cuya pira es de fuego, y mucha leña; el soplo de Jehová, como torrente de azufre, lo enciende.

Versículo 2
I. walk--are now setting out, namely, their ambassadors (Isa 30:4).
walk--are now setting out, namely, their ambassadors (Isa 30:4).
Egypt--See on Isa 19:1; Isa 20:1.
Pharaoh--the generic name of the kings of Egypt, as CÃ&brvbrsar was at Rome. The word in Egyptian means "king" [JOSEPHUS, Antiquities, 8.6,2]. Phra, "the sun," was the hieroglyphic symbol and title of the king.
shadow--image from shelter against heat: protection (Psa 121:5-6).
II
Versículo 3

his--Judah's (compare Isa 9:21).
at Zoan--are already arrived there on their errand to Pharaoh (see Isa 19:11).
came to Hanes--are come there. West of the Nile, in central Egypt: Egyptian Hnes; the Greek Heracleopolis: perhaps the Anysis of HERODOTUS (2.137); according to GROTIUS, Tahpanhes contracted (Jer 43:7-9); the seat of a reigning prince at the time, as was Zoan, hence the Jewish ambassadors go to both.

burden--the prophecy as to, &c. [MAURER]; so the Septuagint, the fresh inscription here marks emphatically the prediction that follows. Or, rather, Isaiah sees in vision, the ambassador's beasts burdened with rich presents travelling southwards (namely, to Egypt, Dan 11:5-6), and exclaims, Oh, the burden of treasure on the beasts! &c. (Hos 8:9; Hos 12:1).
land of trouble--the desert between Palestine and Egypt, destitute of water and abounding in dangerous animals (Deu 8:15; Jer 2:6).
flying serpent-- (Isa 14:29), a species which springs like a dart from trees, on its prey.
will carry--rather, present, "carry," namely, as presents to Egypt (Kg1 15:19).
young asses--rather, "full-grown asses" [MAURER].
VI
Versículo 7
VI. "Egypt is vanity, and to no purpose will they help" [G. V. SMITH].
"Egypt is vanity, and to no purpose will they help" [G. V. SMITH].
strength--Hebrew, Rabah, a designation for Egypt (Isa 51:9; Psa 87:4), implying her haughty fierceness; translate, "Therefore I call her Arrogance that sitteth still." She who boasted of the help she would give, when it came to the test, sat still (Isa 36:6). English Version agrees with Isa 30:15; Isa 7:4.
VII

table--a tablet (Hab 2:2), which should be set in public, containing the prophecy in a briefer form, to be read by all.
a book--namely, a parchment roll, containing the prophecy in full, for the use of distant posterity. Its truth will be seen hereafter when the event has come to pass. See on Isa 8:1; Isa 8:16.
for ever and ever--rather read, "For a testimony for ever" [Chaldee, JEROME, LOWTH]: "testimony is often joined to the notion of perpetuity (Deu 31:19, Deu 31:21, Deu 31:26).
VIII

IX
Versículo 10
IX. (Mic 2:6, Mic 2:11; Mic 3:5).
(Mic 2:6, Mic 2:11; Mic 3:5).
See not--as you now do, foretelling misfortune.
Prophesy not . . . right things--Not that they avowedly requested this, but their conduct virtually expressed it. No man, professedly, wished to be deceived; but many seek a kind of teaching which is deceit; and which, if they would examine, they might know to be such (Kg1 22:13). The Jews desired success to be foretold as the issue of their league with Egypt, though ill had been announced by God's prophet as the result; this constituted the "deceits."
X
Versículo 11
X. Depart from the true "way" (so in Act 19:9, Act 19:23) of religion.
Depart from the true "way" (so in Act 19:9, Act 19:23) of religion.

Holy One--Isaiah so little yields to their wicked prejudices that he repeats the very name and truth which they disliked.
this word--Isaiah's exhortation to reliance on Jehovah.
oppression--whereby they levied the treasures to be sent to conciliate Egypt (Isa 30:6).
perverseness--in relying on Egypt, rather than on Jehovah.
XII
Versículo 13

Image from a curve swelling out in a wall (Psa 62:3); when the former gives way, it causes the downfall of the whole wall; so their policy as to Egypt.
XIII
Versículo 14
XIII. he--the enemy; or rather, God (Psa 2:9; Jer 19:11).
he--the enemy; or rather, God (Psa 2:9; Jer 19:11).
It--the Jewish state.
potter's vessel--earthen and fragile.
sherd--a fragment of the vessel large enough to take up a live coal, &c.
pit--cistern or pool. The swell of the wall is at first imperceptible and gradual, but at last it comes to the crisis; so the decay of the Jewish state.
XIV
Versículo 15
XIV. returning and rest--turning back from your embassy to Egypt, and ceasing from warlike preparations.
returning and rest--turning back from your embassy to Egypt, and ceasing from warlike preparations.
quietness--answering to "wait for Him (God)" (Isa 30:18).
XV
Versículo 16

flee--not as fugitives, but we will speed our course; namely, against the Assyrians, by the help of cavalry supplied by Egypt (Isa 31:1). This was expressly against the Mosaic law (Deu 17:16; see on Isa 2:7; Hos 14:3).
shall . . . flee--literally, "before your enemies"; their sin and its punishment correspond.
16
Versículo 17
16. One thousand--A thousand at once, or, "As one man" [MAURER].
One thousand--A thousand at once, or, "As one man" [MAURER].
rebuke--the battle cry.
shall ye--at the rebuke of five shall ye, namely, all (in contrast to the "one thousand") flee so utterly that even two shall not be left together, but each one shall be as solitary "as a signal staff" [G. V. SMITH], or "a banner on a hill" (Isa 5:26; Isa 11:12). The signal staff was erected to rally a nation in war. The remnant of Jews left would be beacons to warn all men of the justice of God, and the truth of His threatenings. GESENIUS (from Lev 26:8; Deu 32:30) arbitrarily inserts "ten thousand." "At the rebuke of five shall ten thousand of you flee."
17
Versículo 18
17. therefore--on account of your wicked perverseness (Isa 30:1-2, Isa 30:9, Isa 30:15-16), Jehovah w…
therefore--on account of your wicked perverseness (Isa 30:1-2, Isa 30:9, Isa 30:15-16), Jehovah will delay to be gracious [HORSLEY]. Rather, wait or delay in punishing, to give you time for repentance (Isa 30:13-14, Isa 30:17) [MAURER]. Or, "Yet therefore" (namely, because of the distress spoken of in the previous verses; that distress will lead the Jews to repentance, and so Jehovah will pity them) [GESENIUS].
be exalted--Men will have more elevated views of God's mercy; or else, "He will rise up to pity you" [G. V. SMITH]. Or (taking the previous clause as MAURER, "Therefore Jehovah will delay" in punishing you, "in order that He may be gracious to you," if ye repent), He will be far removed from you (so in Psa 10:5, far above out sight); that is, He will not immediately descend to punish, "in order that He may have mercy," &c.
judgment--justice; faithfulness to His covenant.
wait--compare Isa 30:15, wait, namely, for His times of having mercy.
18

(Isa 65:9). The restoration from Babylon only typifies the full accomplishment of the prophecy (Isa. 30:18-33).
weep no more-- (Isa 25:8).

19
Versículo 20
19. Rather, "The Lord will give"; the "though" is not in the original.
Rather, "The Lord will give"; the "though" is not in the original.
bread of adversity--He will not deny you food enough to save you in your adversity (Kg1 22:27; Psa 127:2).
be removed--rather, "hide themselves"; they shall no more be forced to hide themselves from persecution, but shall be openly received with reverence [MAURER]. Contrast with this Psa 74:9; Amo 8:11.

covering of . . . images--rather, "images" (formed of wood or potter's clay, and) "covered with silver." Hezekiah, and afterwards Josiah, defiled them (Kg2 23:8, Kg2 23:10, Kg2 23:14, Kg2 23:16; Ch2 31:1; compare Isa 2:20; Deu 7:25).
22

rain of--rather, "for thy seed." Physical prosperity accompanies national piety; especially under the Old Testament. The early rain fell soon after the seed was sown in October or November; the latter rain in the spring, before the ripening of the corn. Both were needed for a good harvest.
increase--the produce.
fat--bread made of the best wheat flour (compare Gen 49:20; Deu 32:14).
23
Versículo 24
23. ear--that is, till. Asses were employed in tillage, as well as oxen (Deu 22:10).
ear--that is, till. Asses were employed in tillage, as well as oxen (Deu 22:10).
clean--rather, salted provender [GESENIUS]. The Arab proverb is, "Sweet provender is as bread to camels--salted provender as confectionery." The very cattle shall share the coming felicity. Or else, well-fermented maslin, that is, provender formed of a mixture of various substances: grain, beans, vetches, hay, and salt.
winnowed--not as it is usually given to cattle before it is separated from the chaff; the grain shall be so abundant that it shall be given winnowed.
shovel--by which the grain was thrown up in the wind to separate it from the chaff.
fan--an instrument for winnowing.
24
Versículo 25
24. Even the otherwise barren hills shall then be well-watered (Isa 44:3).
Even the otherwise barren hills shall then be well-watered (Isa 44:3).
the day, &c.--when the disobedient among the Jews shall have been slain, as foretold in Isa 30:16 : "towers," that is, mighty men (Isa 2:15). Or else, the towers of the Assyrian Sennacherib, or of Babylon, types of all enemies of God's people.
25
Versículo 26

Image from the heavenly bodies to express the increase of spiritual light and felicity. "Sevenfold" implies the perfection of that felicity, seven being the sacred number. It shall also be literally fulfilled hereafter in the heavenly city (Isa 60:19-20; Rev 21:23-24; Rev 22:5).
breach--the wound, or calamity, sent by God on account of their sins (Isa 1:5).
26
Versículo 27
26. name of . . . Lord--that is, Jehovah Himself (Psa 44:5; Psa 54:1); represented as a storm approac…
name of . . . Lord--that is, Jehovah Himself (Psa 44:5; Psa 54:1); represented as a storm approaching and ready to burst over the Assyrians (Isa 30:30-31).
burden . . . is heavy--literally, "grievousness is the flame," that is, the flame which darts from Him is grievous. Or else (as the Hebrew means an "uplifting") the uprising cloud is grievous [G. V. SMITH]; the gathering cloud gradually rising till it bursts.
27
Versículo 28
27. (Isa 11:4; Th2 2:8).
(Isa 11:4; Th2 2:8).
reach . . . neck--the most extreme danger; yet as the head, or capital of Judah, was to be spared (Isa 8:8), so the head, or sovereign of Assyria, Sennacherib, should escape.
sieve of vanity--Rather, "the winnowing fan of destruction" [LOWTH] (Isa 41:16).
bridle in . . . jaws--as prisoners are represented in the Assyrian inscriptions (Isa 37:29).
causing . . . to err-- (Isa 63:17). "People," Hebrew, "peoples," namely, the various races composing the Assyrian armies (Isa 5:26).
28
Versículo 29
28. the night . . . solemnity--As in the passover night ye celebrate your deliverance from Egypt, so …
the night . . . solemnity--As in the passover night ye celebrate your deliverance from Egypt, so shall ye celebrate your rescue from Assyrian bondage. Translate, "the solemnity" (Exo 12:42).
goeth with a pipe--or flute. They used to go up to Jerusalem ("the mountain of the Lord," Zion) at the three feasts with music and gladness (Deu 16:16; Ezr 2:65; Psa 122:1-4).
29
Versículo 30

Jehovah's "glorious voice," raised against the enemy (Isa 30:27), is again mentioned here, in contrast to the music (Isa 30:29) with which His people shall come to worship Him.
lighting down of . . . arm-- (Isa 30:32; Psa 38:2). The descent of His arm in striking.
scattering--namely, a blast that scatters, or an "inundation" [MAURER].
30
Versículo 31
30. The Assyrian rod which beat shall itself be beaten, and that by the mere voice of the Lord, that …
The Assyrian rod which beat shall itself be beaten, and that by the mere voice of the Lord, that is, an unseen divine agency (Isa 10:5, Isa 10:24).
grounded--rather, "decreed," "appointed" [MAURER].
staff--the avenging rod.
him--the Assyrian; type of all God's enemies in every age. Margin and MAURER construe, "Every passing through (infliction, Isa 28:15) of the appointed rod, which, &c., shall be with tabrets," that is, accompanied with joy on the part of the rescued peoples.
battles of shaking--that is, shock of battles (Isa 19:16; compare "sift . . . sieve," Isa 30:28).
with it--namely, Assyria.
32
Versículo 33
32. Tophet--literally, "A place of abomination"; the valley of the sons of Hinnom, southeast of Jerus…
Tophet--literally, "A place of abomination"; the valley of the sons of Hinnom, southeast of Jerusalem, where Israel offered human sacrifices to Moloch by fire; hence a place of burning (Kg2 23:10; Jer 7:31). Latterly Gehinnom or Gehenna, that is, valley of Hinnom, was the receptacle of the refuse of the city, to consume which fires were constantly burning. Hence it came to express hell, the place of torment. In the former sense it was a fit place to symbolize the funeral pyre of the Assyrian army (not that it actually perished there); the Hebrews did not burn, but buried their dead, but the heathen Assyrians are to be burnt as a mark of ignominy. In the latter sense Tophet is the receptacle "prepared for the devil (antitype to the king, Isa 14:12-15) and his angels," and unbelieving men (Mat 5:22; Mat 25:41; Mar 9:43-44).
