Isaiah 10:29

10:29 They went through the pass,

spent the night at Geba.

Ramah trembled,

Gibeah of Saul ran away.

Isaiah 16:2

16:2 At the fords of the Arnon ¹ 

the Moabite women are like a bird

that flies about when forced from its nest. ² 

Isaiah 30:32

30:32 Every blow from his punishing cudgel, ³ 

with which the Lord will beat them, ⁴ 

will be accompanied by music from the ⁵  tambourine and harp,

and he will attack them with his weapons. ⁶ 

[16:2]  ¹ tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[16:2]  ² tn Heb “like a bird fleeing, thrust away [from] a nest, the daughters of Moab are [at] the fords of Arnon.”

[30:32]  ¹ tc The Hebrew text has “every blow from a founded [i.e., “appointed”?] cudgel.” The translation above, with support from a few medieval Hebrew mss, assumes an emendation of מוּסָדָה (musadah, “founded”) to מוּסָרֹה (musaroh, “his discipline”).

[30:32]  ² tn Heb “which the Lord lays on him.”

[30:32]  ³ tn Heb “will be with” (KJV similar).

[30:32]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text reads literally, “and with battles of brandishing [weapons?] he will fight against him.” Some prefer to emend וּבְמִלְחֲמוֹת (uvÿmilkhamot, “and with battles of”) to וּבִמְחֹלוֹת (uvimkholot, “and with dancing”). Note the immediately preceding references to musical instruments.
