Isaiah 33:12

33:12 The nations will be burned to ashes; ¹ 

like thorn bushes that have been cut down, they will be set on fire.

Isaiah 32:13

32:13 Mourn ²  over the land of my people,

which is overgrown with thorns and briers,

and over all the once-happy houses ³ 

in the city filled with revelry. ⁴ 

[33:12]  ¹ tn Heb “will be a burning to lime.” See Amos 2:1.

[32:13]  ² tn “Mourn” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text vv. 12-13 are one long sentence.

[32:13]  ³ tn Heb “indeed, over all the houses of joy.” It is not certain if this refers to individual homes or to places where parties and celebrations were held.

[32:13]  ⁴ sn This same phrase is used in 22:2.
