Isaiah 37:4

37:4 Perhaps the Lord your God will hear all these things the chief adviser has spoken on behalf of his master, the king of Assyria, who sent him to taunt the living God. ¹¹  When the Lord your God hears, perhaps he will punish him for the things he has said. ¹²  So pray for this remnant that remains.’” ¹³ 

[14:30]  ¹ tc The Hebrew text has, “the firstborn of the poor will graze.” “Firstborn” may be used here in an idiomatic sense to indicate the very poorest of the poor. See BDB 114 s.v. בְּכוֹר. The translation above assumes an emendation of בְּכוֹרֵי (bÿkhorey, “firstborn of”) to בְּכָרַי (bekharay, “in my pastures”).

[14:30]  ² tn Heb “your remnant” (so NAB, NRSV).

[37:32]  ³ tn Heb “the zeal of the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts].” In this context the Lord’s “zeal” refers to his intense devotion to and love for his people which prompts him to protect and restore them.

[15:9]  ⁵ tc The Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a reads “Dibon” instead of “Dimon” in this verse.

[15:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “Indeed I will place on Dimon added things.” Apparently the Lord is speaking.

[15:9]  ⁷ tn The words “will attack” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[46:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “house of Jacob”; TEV “descendants of Jacob.”

[46:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “and all the remnant of the house of Israel.”

[46:3]  ⁹ tn Heb “from the womb” (so NRSV); KJV “from the belly”; NAB “from your infancy.”

[46:3]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “who have been lifted up from the womb.”

[37:4]  ⁹ tn Heb “all the words of the chief adviser whom his master, the king of Assyria, sent to taunt the living God.”

[37:4]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and rebuke the words which the Lord your God hears.”

[37:4]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and lift up a prayer on behalf of the remnant that is found.”
