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. ¹  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!” ² 

Isaiah 51:22

51:22 This is what your sovereign master, ³  the Lord your God, says:

“Look, I have removed from your hand

the cup of intoxicating wine, ⁴ 

the goblet full of my anger. ⁵ 

You will no longer have to drink it.

¹ tn Heb “To your master and to you did my master send me to speak these words?” The rhetorical question expects a negative answer.

² tn Heb “[Is it] not [also] to the men…?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Yes, it is.”

³ tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

⁴ tn Heb “the cup of [= that causes] staggering” (so ASV, NAB, NRSV); NASB “the cup of reeling.”

⁵ tn Heb “the goblet of the cup of my anger.”
