Isaiah 7:7

7:7 For this reason the sovereign master, the Lord, says:

“It will not take place;

it will not happen.

Isaiah 45:10

45:10 Danger awaits one who says to his father,

“What in the world are you fathering?”

and to his mother,

“What in the world are you bringing forth?”

Isaiah 66:21

66:21 And I will choose some of them as priests and Levites,” says the Lord.

tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here and in vv. 14, 19 is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

tn Heb “Woe [to] one who says” (NASB and NIV both similar); NCV “How terrible it will be.”

tn See the note at v. 9. This phrase occurs a second time later in this verse.

sn Verses 9-10 may allude to the exiles’ criticism that the Lord does not appear to know what he is doing.
