Isaiah 19:4

19:4 I will hand Egypt over to a harsh master;

a powerful king will rule over them,”

says the sovereign master, ¹  the Lord who commands armies.

Isaiah 21:2

21:2 I have received a distressing message: ² 

“The deceiver deceives,

the destroyer destroys.

Attack, you Elamites!

Lay siege, you Medes!

I will put an end to all the groaning!” ³ 

[19:4]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[21:2]  ² tn Heb “a severe revelation has been related to me.”

[21:2]  ³ sn This is often interpreted to mean “all the groaning” that Babylon has caused others.
