Isaiah 30:16 in Context — Isaiah 30
14 Y quebrarálo como se quiebra un vaso de alfarero, [que] sin misericordia lo hacen menuzos; tanto, que entre los pedazos no se halla tiesto para traer fuego del hogar, ó para coger agua de la poza.
15 Porque así dijo el Señor Jehová, el Santo de Israel: En descanso y en reposo seréis salvos; en quietud y en confianza será vuestra fortaleza. Y no quisisteis,
16 Sino que dijisteis: No, antes huiremos en caballos: por tanto vosotros huiréis. Sobre ligeros cabalgaremos: por tanto serán ligeros vuestros perseguidores.
17 Un millar [huirá] á la amenaza de uno; á la amenaza de cinco huiréis vosotros [todos]; hasta que quedéis como mástil en la cumbre de un monte, y como bandera sobre cabezo.
18 Empero Jehová esperará para tener piedad de vosotros, y por tanto será ensalzado teniendo de vosotros misericordia: porque Jehová es Dios de juicio: bienaventurados todos los que le esperan.
