Isaiah 9:16

9:16 The leaders of this nation were misleading people,

and the people being led were destroyed.

Isaiah 29:24

29:24 Those who stray morally will gain understanding;

those who complain will acquire insight.


tn Heb “and the ones being led were swallowed up.” Instead of taking מְבֻלָּעִים (mÿbullaim) from בָּלַע (bala’, “to swallow”), HALOT 134 s.v. בלע proposes a rare homonymic root בלע (“confuse”) here.

tn Heb “and the ones who stray in spirit will know understanding.”

tn Heb “will learn instruction”; cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT “will accept instruction.”
