Isaiah 33:1

Context
The Lord Will Restore Zion

33:1 The destroyer is as good as dead, 1 

you who have not been destroyed!

The deceitful one is as good as dead, 2 

the one whom others have not deceived!

When you are through destroying, you will be destroyed;

when you finish 3  deceiving, others will deceive you!

[33:1]  1 tn Heb “Woe [to] the destroyer.”

[33:1]  2 tn Heb “and the deceitful one”; NAB, NIV “O traitor”; NRSV “you treacherous one.” In the parallel structure הוֹי (hoy, “woe [to]”) does double duty.

[33:1]  3 tc The form in the Hebrew text appears to derive from an otherwise unattested verb נָלָה (nalah). The translation follows the Qumran scroll 1QIsaa in reading ככלתך, a Piel infinitival form from the verbal root כָּלָה (kalah), meaning “finish.”
