Isaiah 23:7

23:7 Is this really your boisterous city ¹ 

whose origins are in the distant past, ² 

and whose feet led her to a distant land to reside?

Isaiah 32:10

32:10 In a year’s time ³ 

you carefree ones will shake with fear,

for the grape ⁴  harvest will fail,

and the fruit harvest will not arrive.

[23:7]  ¹ tn Heb “Is this to you, boisterous one?” The pronoun “you” is masculine plural, like the imperatives in v. 6, so it is likely addressed to the Egyptians and residents of the coast. “Boisterous one” is a feminine singular form, probably referring to the personified city of Tyre.

[23:7]  ² tn Heb “in the days of antiquity [is] her beginning.”

[32:10]  ³ tn Heb “days upon a year.”

[32:10]  ⁴ tn Or perhaps, “olive.” See 24:13.
