Isaiah 10:10

10:10 I overpowered kingdoms ruled by idols, ¹ 

whose carved images were more impressive than Jerusalem’s ²  or Samaria’s.

Isaiah 16:1

16:1 Send rams as tribute to the ruler of the land, ³ 

from Sela in the desert ⁴ 

to the hill of Daughter Zion.

Isaiah 32:17

32:17 Fairness will produce peace ⁵ 

and result in lasting security. ⁶ 

[10:10]  ¹ tn Heb “Just as my hand found the kingdoms of the idol[s].” The comparison is expanded in v. 11a (note “as”) and completed in v. 11b (note “so”).

[10:10]  ² map For the location of Jerusalem see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[16:1]  ³ tc The Hebrew text reads literally, “Send [a plural imperatival form is used] a ram [to] the ruler of the land.” The term כַּר (kar, “ram”) should be emended to the plural כָּרִים (karim). The singular form in the text is probably the result of haplography; note that the next word begins with a mem (מ).

[16:1]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text has “toward [across?] the desert.”

[32:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “and the product of fairness will be peace.”

[32:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “and the work of fairness [will be] calmness and security forever.”
