21:2 I have received a distressing message: 1
“The deceiver deceives,
the destroyer destroys.
Attack, you Elamites!
Lay siege, you Medes!
I will put an end to all the groaning!” 2
29:11 To you this entire prophetic revelation 3 is like words in a sealed scroll. When they hand it to one who can read 4 and say, “Read this,” he responds, “I can’t, because it is sealed.”
1 tn Heb “a severe revelation has been related to me.”
2 sn This is often interpreted to mean “all the groaning” that Babylon has caused others.
3 tn Heb “vision” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV).
