3:26 Her gates will mourn and lament;
deprived of her people, she will sit on the ground. 1
32:16 Justice will settle down in the desert
and fairness will live in the orchard. 2
1 tn Heb “she will be empty, on the ground she will sit.” Jerusalem is personified as a destitute woman who sits mourning the empty city.
2 sn This new era of divine blessing will also include a moral/ethical transformation, as justice and fairness fill the land and replace the social injustice so prevalent in Isaiah’s time.
