32:3 Eyes 1 will no longer be blind 2
and ears 3 will be attentive.
36:11 Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the chief adviser, “Speak to your servants in Aramaic, 4 for we understand it. Don’t speak with us in the Judahite dialect 5 in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
1 tn Heb “Eyes that see.”
2 tn The Hebrew text as vocalized reads literally “will not gaze,” but this is contradictory to the context. The verb form should be revocalized as תְּשֹׁעֶינָה (tÿsho’enah) from שָׁעַע (sha’a’, “be blinded”); see Isa 6:10; 29:9.
3 tn Heb “ears that hear.”
4 sn Aramaic was the diplomatic language of the Assyrian empire.
5 tn Or “in Hebrew” (NIV, NCV, NLT); NAB, NASB “in Judean.”
