Isaiah 38:12

38:12 My dwelling place ³  is removed and taken away ⁴  from me

like a shepherd’s tent.

I rolled up my life like a weaver rolls cloth; ⁵ 

from the loom he cuts me off. ⁶ 

You turn day into night and end my life. ⁷ 

Isaiah 33:20

33:20 Look at Zion, the city where we hold religious festivals!

You ⁸  will see Jerusalem, ⁹ 

a peaceful settlement,

a tent that stays put; ¹⁰ 

its stakes will never be pulled up;

none of its ropes will snap in two.

[37:37]  ¹ tn Heb “and Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went and returned and lived in Nineveh.”

[37:8]  ² tn Heb “and the chief adviser returned and he found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish.”

[38:12]  ³ tn According to HALOT 217 s.v. דּוֹר this noun is a hapax legomenon meaning “dwelling place,” derived from a verbal root meaning “live” (see Ps 84:10). For an interpretation that understands the form as the well-attested noun meaning “generation,” see J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:679, n. 4.

[38:12]  ⁴ tn The verb form appears to be a Niphal from גָּלָה (galah), which normally means “uncovered, revealed” in the Niphal. Because of the following reference to a shepherd’s tent, some prefer to emend the form to וְנָגַל, a Niphal from גָלָל (galal, “roll”) and translate “is rolled [or “folded”] up.”

[38:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “I rolled up, like a weaver, my life” (so ASV).

[38:12]  ⁶ sn For a discussion of the imagery employed here, see J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:684.

[38:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “from day to night you bring me to an end.”

[33:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “your eyes” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV).
