Isaiah 10:20

10:20 At that time ¹  those left in Israel, those who remain of the family ²  of Jacob, will no longer rely on a foreign leader that abuses them. ³  Instead they will truly ⁴  rely on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. ⁵ 

Isaiah 11:11

11:11 At that time ⁶  the sovereign master ⁷  will again lift his hand ⁸  to reclaim ⁹  the remnant of his people ¹⁰  from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, ¹¹  Cush, ¹²  Elam, Shinar, ¹³  Hamath, and the seacoasts. ¹⁴ 

Isaiah 16:14

16:14 Now the Lord makes this announcement: “Within exactly three years ¹⁵  Moab’s splendor will disappear, along with all her many people; there will be just a few, insignificant survivors left.” ¹⁶ 

¹ tn Or “in that day.” The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

² tn Heb “house” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

³ tn Heb “on one who strikes him down.” This individual is the king (“foreign leader”) of the oppressing nation (which NLT specifies as “the Assyrians”).

⁴ tn Or “sincerely”; KJV, ASV, NAB, NRSV “in truth.”

⁵ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

⁶ tn Or “in that day” (KJV). The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

⁷ tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonai).

⁸ tc The Hebrew text reads, “the sovereign master will again, a second time, his hand.” The auxiliary verb יוֹסִיף (yosif), which literally means “add,” needs a main verb to complete it. Consequently many emend שֵׁנִית (shenit, “a second time”) to an infinitive. Some propose the form שַׁנֹּת (shannot, a Piel infinitive construct from שָׁנָה, shanah) and relate it semantically to an Arabic cognate meaning “to be high.” If the Hebrew text is retained a verb must be supplied. “Second time” would allude back to the events of the Exodus (see vv. 15-16).

⁹ tn Or “acquire”; KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV “recover.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “the remnant of his people who remain.”

¹¹ sn Perhaps a reference to Upper (i.e., southern) Egypt (so NIV, NLT; NCV “South Egypt”).

¹² tn Or “Ethiopia” (NAB, NRSV, NLT).

¹³ tn Or “Babylonia” (NIV, NCV, TEV, NLT).

¹⁴ tn Or perhaps, “the islands of the sea.”

¹¹ tn Heb “in three years, like the years of a hired worker.” The three years must be reckoned exactly, just as a hired worker would carefully keep track of the time he had agreed to work for an employer in exchange for a predetermined wage.

¹² tn Heb “and the splendor of Moab will be disgraced with all the great multitude, and a small little remnant will not be strong.”
