Isaiah 16:14

16:14 Now the Lord makes this announcement: “Within exactly three years ¹  Moab’s splendor will disappear, along with all her many people; there will be just a few, insignificant survivors left.” ² 

Isaiah 20:2

20:2 At that time the Lord announced through ³  Isaiah son of Amoz: “Go, remove the sackcloth from your waist and take your sandals off your feet.” He did as instructed and walked around in undergarments ⁴  and barefoot.

Isaiah 29:11

29:11 To you this entire prophetic revelation ⁵  is like words in a sealed scroll. When they hand it to one who can read ⁶  and say, “Read this,” he responds, “I can’t, because it is sealed.”

Isaiah 37:21

37:21 Isaiah son of Amoz sent this message to Hezekiah: “This is what the Lord God of Israel says: ‘Because you prayed to me concerning King Sennacherib of Assyria, ⁷ 

Isaiah 44:19

44:19 No one thinks to himself,

nor do they comprehend or understand and say to themselves:

‘I burned half of it in the fire –

yes, I baked bread over the coals;

I roasted meat and ate it.

With the rest of it should I make a disgusting idol?

Should I bow down to dry wood?’ ⁸ 

Isaiah 56:3

56:3 No foreigner who becomes a follower of ⁹  the Lord should say,

‘The Lord will certainly ¹⁰  exclude me from his people.’

The eunuch should not say,

‘Look, I am like a dried-up tree.’”

[16:14]  ¹ tn Heb “in three years, like the years of a hired worker.” The three years must be reckoned exactly, just as a hired worker would carefully keep track of the time he had agreed to work for an employer in exchange for a predetermined wage.

[16:14]  ² tn Heb “and the splendor of Moab will be disgraced with all the great multitude, and a small little remnant will not be strong.”

[20:2]  ³ tn Heb “spoke by the hand of.”

[20:2]  ⁴ tn The word used here (עָרוֹם, ’arom) sometimes means “naked,” but here it appears to mean simply “lightly dressed,” i.e., stripped to one’s undergarments. See HALOT 883 s.v. עָרוֹם. The term also occurs in vv. 3, 4.

[29:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “vision” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[29:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “one who knows a/the scroll.”

[37:21]  ⁷ tn The parallel text in 2 Kgs 19:20 reads, “That which you prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.” The verb “I have heard” does not appear in Isa 37:21, where אֲשֶׁר (’asher) probably has a causal sense: “because.”

[44:19]  ⁹ tn There is no formal interrogative sign here, but the context seems to indicate these are rhetorical questions. See GKC 473 §150.a.

[56:3]  ¹¹ tn Heb “who attaches himself to.”

[56:3]  ¹² tn The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.
