[2:11]  ¹ tn Heb “and the eyes of the pride of men will be brought low, and the arrogance of men will be brought down.” The repetition of the verbs שָׁפַל (shafal) and שָׁחָח (shakhakh) from v. 9 draws attention to the appropriate nature of the judgment. Those proud men who “bow low” before idols will be forced to “bow low” before God when he judges their sin.

[2:11]  ² tn Or “elevated”; CEV “honored.”

[2:17]  ³ tn Heb “and the pride of men will be brought down, and the arrogance of men will be brought low.” As in v. 11, the repetition of the verbs שָׁפַל (shafal) and שָׁחָח (shakhakh) from v. 9 draws attention to the appropriate nature of the judgment. Those proud men who “bow low” before idols will be forced to “bow low” before God when he judges their sin.

[2:17]  ⁴ tn Or “elevated”; NCV “praised”; CEV “honored.”

[3:18]  ⁵ sn The translation assumes that the direct quotation ends with v. 17. The introductory formula “in that day” and the shift from a poetic to prosaic style indicate that a new speech unit begins in v. 18.

[3:18]  ⁶ tn Or “in that day” (KJV).

[3:18]  ⁷ tn Or “the beauty of [their] ankle jewelry.”

[7:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “in that day.” The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[10:17]  ⁹ tn In this context the “Light of Israel” is a divine title (note the parallel title “his holy one”). The title points to God’s royal splendor, which overshadows and, when transformed into fire, destroys the “majestic glory” of the king of Assyria (v. 16b).

[10:17]  ¹⁰ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

[10:17]  ¹¹ tn Heb “his.” In vv. 17-19 the Assyrian king and his empire is compared to a great forest and orchard that are destroyed by fire (symbolic of the Lord).

[12:1]  ¹¹ tn Or “in that day” (KJV).

[17:4]  ¹³ tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV). The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[17:4]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “will be tiny.”

[17:4]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and the fatness of his flesh will be made lean.”

[17:7]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “in that day” (so ASV, NASB, NIV); KJV “At that day.”

[17:7]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “man will gaze toward his maker.”

[17:7]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “his eyes will look toward.”

[17:7]  ¹⁸ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

[19:19]  ¹⁷ tn This word is sometimes used of a sacred pillar associated with pagan worship, but here it is associated with the worship of the Lord.

[19:24]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “will be a blessing” (so NCV).

[19:24]  ²⁰ tn Or “land” (KJV, NAB).

[22:8]  ²¹ tn Heb “he,” i.e., the enemy invader. NASB, by its capitalization of the pronoun, takes this to refer to the Lord.

[22:8]  ²² tn Heb “covering.”

[22:8]  ²³ tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV), likewise at the beginning of v. 12.

[22:8]  ²⁴ sn Perhaps this refers to a royal armory, or to Solomon’s “House of the Forest of Lebanon,” where weapons may have been kept (see 1 Kgs 10:16-17).

[22:12]  ²³ tn Heb “for baldness and the wearing of sackcloth.” See the note at 15:2.

[28:5]  ²⁵ tn Or “in that day” (KJV).

[29:18]  ²⁷ tn Or “In that day” (KJV).

[29:18]  ²⁸ tn Heb “and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.”
