Isaiah 14:19

Context

14:19 But you have been thrown out of your grave

like a shoot that is thrown away. 1 

You lie among 2  the slain,

among those who have been slashed by the sword,

among those headed for 3  the stones of the pit, 4 

as if you were a mangled corpse. 5 

Isaiah 51:1

Context
There is Hope for the Future

51:1 “Listen to me, you who pursue godliness, 6 

who seek the Lord!

Look at the rock from which you were chiseled,

at the quarry 7  from which you were dug! 8

[14:19]  1 tn Heb “like a shoot that is abhorred.” The simile seems a bit odd; apparently it refers to a small shoot that is trimmed from a plant and tossed away. Some prefer to emend נֵצֶר (netser, “shoot”); some propose נֵפֶל (nefel, “miscarriage”). In this case one might paraphrase: “like a horrible-looking fetus that is delivered when a woman miscarries.”

[14:19]  2 tn Heb “are clothed with.”

[14:19]  3 tn Heb “those going down to.”

[14:19]  4 tn בּוֹר (bor) literally means “cistern”; cisterns were constructed from stones. On the metaphorical use of “cistern” for the underworld, see the note at v. 15.

[14:19]  5 tn Heb “like a trampled corpse.” Some take this line with what follows.

[51:1]  6 tn Or “righteousness” (KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); NAB “justice”; NLT “hope for deliverance.”

[51:1]  7 tn Heb “the excavation of the hole.”

[51:1]  8 sn The “rock” and “quarry” refer here to Abraham and Sarah, the progenitors of the nation.
