Isaiah 40:16

40:16 Not even Lebanon could supply enough firewood for a sacrifice;

its wild animals would not provide enough burnt offerings.

Isaiah 66:23

66:23 From one month to the next and from one Sabbath to the next, all people will come to worship me,” says the Lord.

Isaiah 28:19

28:19 Whenever it sweeps by, it will overtake you;

indeed, every morning it will sweep by,

it will come through during the day and the night.”

When this announcement is understood,

it will cause nothing but terror.


tn The words “for a sacrifice” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

sn The point is that not even the Lebanon forest could supply enough wood and animals for an adequate sacrifice to the Lord.

tn Heb “new moon.” The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

tn Heb “all flesh” (so KJV, ASV, NRSV); NAB, NASB, NIV “all mankind”; NLT “All humanity.”

tn Or “bow down before” (NASB).

tn Or “for” (KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV).

tn The words “it will come through” are supplied in the translation. The verb “will sweep by” does double duty in the parallel structure.
