Isaiah 30:17 in Context — Isaiah 30

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.

19 Ciertamente el pueblo morará en Sión, en Jerusalem: nunca más llorarás; el que tiene misericordia se apiadará de ti; en oyendo la voz de tu clamor te responderá.
