Isaiah 22:18

22:18 He will wind you up tightly into a ball

and throw you into a wide, open land. ¹ 

There you will die,

and there with you will be your impressive chariots, ² 

which bring disgrace to the house of your master. ³ 

Isaiah 33:21

33:21 Instead the Lord will rule there as our mighty king. ⁴ 

Rivers and wide streams will flow through it; ⁵ 

no war galley will enter; ⁶ 

no large ships will sail through. ⁷ 

[22:18]  ¹ tn Heb “and he will tightly [or “surely”] wind you [with] winding like a ball, to a land broad of hands [i.e., “sides”].”

[22:18]  ² tn Heb “and there the chariots of your splendor.”

[22:18]  ³ sn Apparently the reference to chariots alludes to Shebna’s excessive pride, which in turn brings disgrace to the royal family.

[33:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “But there [as] a mighty one [will be] the Lord for us.”

[33:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “a place of rivers, streams wide of hands [i.e., on both sides].”

[33:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “a ship of rowing will not go into it.”

[33:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “and a mighty ship will not pass through it.”
