Isaiah 28:23

28:23 Pay attention and listen to my message! ¹ 

Be attentive and listen to what I have to say! ² 

Isaiah 36:12

36:12 But the chief adviser said, “My master did not send me to speak these words only to your master and to you. ³  His message is also for the men who sit on the wall, for they will eat their own excrement and drink their own urine along with you!” ⁴ 

¹ tn Heb “to my voice.”

² tn Heb “to my word”; cf. KJV, ASV, NRSV “hear my speech.”

³ tn Heb “To your master and to you did my master send me to speak these words?” The rhetorical question expects a negative answer.

⁴ tn Heb “[Is it] not [also] to the men…?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Yes, it is.”
