Isaiah 10:19

10:19 There will be so few trees left in his forest,

a child will be able to count them. ¹ 

Isaiah 32:8

32:8 An honorable man makes honorable plans;

his honorable character gives him security. ² 

Isaiah 41:29

41:29 Look, all of them are nothing, ³ 

their accomplishments are nonexistent;

their metal images lack any real substance. ⁴ 

[10:19]  ¹ tn Heb “and the rest of the trees of his forest will be counted, and a child will record them.”

[32:8]  ² tn Heb “and he upon honorable things stands.”

[41:29]  ³ tc The Hebrew text has אָוֶן (’aven, “deception,” i.e., “false”), but the Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a has אין (“nothing”), which forms a better parallel with אֶפֶס (’efes, “nothing”) in the next line. See also 40:17 and 41:12.

[41:29]  ⁴ tn Heb “their statues are wind and nothing”; NASB “wind and emptiness”; NIV “wind and confusion.”
