Isaiah 33:17

33:17 You will see a king in his splendor; ¹ 

you will see a wide land. ² 

Isaiah 3:24

3:24 A putrid stench will replace the smell of spices, ³ 

a rope will replace a belt,

baldness will replace braided locks of hair,

a sackcloth garment will replace a fine robe,

and a prisoner’s brand will replace beauty.

[33:17]  ¹ tn Heb “your eyes will see a king in his beauty”; NIV, NRSV “the king.”

[33:17]  ² tn Heb “a land of distances,” i.e., an extensive land.

[3:24]  ³ tn Heb “and it will be in place of spices there will be a stench.” The nouns for “spices” and “stench” are right next to each other in the MT for emphatic contrast. The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.
