19:12 But where, oh where, are your wise men? 1
Let them tell you, let them find out
what the Lord who commands armies has planned for Egypt.
41:22 “Let them produce evidence! Let them tell us what will happen!
Tell us about your earlier predictive oracles, 2
so we may examine them 3 and see how they were fulfilled. 4
Or decree for us some future events!
1 tn Heb “Where are they? Where are your wise men?” The juxtaposition of the interrogative pronouns is emphatic. See HALOT 38 s.v. אֶי.
2 tn Heb “As for the former things, tell us what they are!”
3 tn Heb “so we might set [them to] our heart.”
4 tn Heb “and might know their outcome.”
