Isaiah 28:19

Isaiah 16:8

16:8 For the fields of Heshbon are dried up,

as well as the vines of Sibmah.

which reach Jazer and spread to the desert;

their shoots spread out and cross the sea.

[24:5]  ¹ tn Heb “beneath”; cf. KJV, ASV, NRSV “under”; NAB “because of.”

[24:5]  ² sn Isa 26:21 suggests that the earth’s inhabitants defiled the earth by shedding the blood of their fellow human beings. See also Num 35:33-34, which assumes that bloodshed defiles a land.

[24:5]  ³ tn Heb “moved past [the?] regulation.”

[24:5]  ⁴ tn Or “everlasting covenant” (KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT); NAB “the ancient covenant”; CEV “their agreement that was to last forever.”

[28:19]  ¹ tn Or “for” (KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV).

[28:19]  ² tn The words “it will come through” are supplied in the translation. The verb “will sweep by” does double duty in the parallel structure.
