Comentário sobre Isaías 9:9

Bricks have fallen, and hewn stones we will build The kings we had before Pekah reigned, e.g., Jehoahaz son of Jehu, in whose days we were diminished, like the matter stated (II Kings 13:7): “For the king of Aram had destroyed them,” were inferior, and they went away like a weak brick building that falls, but this one who is [king] now, is like a building of hewn stones, and similarly, cedars are superior to sycamores for construction.

The bricks are fallen down, etc. A figurative expression for Assyria has done evil to us, but we shall again be as happy as before, and even happier.

שקמים A kind of inferior fig-trees, sycamores.
