Isaiah 40:16

40:16 Not even Lebanon could supply enough firewood for a sacrifice; ¹ 

its wild animals would not provide enough burnt offerings. ² 

Isaiah 66:23

66:23 From one month ³  to the next and from one Sabbath to the next, all people ⁴  will come to worship me,” ⁵  says the Lord.

Isaiah 28:19

28:19 Whenever it sweeps by, it will overtake you;

indeed, ⁶  every morning it will sweep by,

it will come through during the day and the night.” ⁷ 

When this announcement is understood,

it will cause nothing but terror.

[40:16]  ¹ tn The words “for a sacrifice” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[40:16]  ² sn The point is that not even the Lebanon forest could supply enough wood and animals for an adequate sacrifice to the Lord.

[66:23]  ³ tn Heb “new moon.” The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[66:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “all flesh” (so KJV, ASV, NRSV); NAB, NASB, NIV “all mankind”; NLT “All humanity.”

[66:23]  ⁵ tn Or “bow down before” (NASB).

[28:19]  ⁵ tn Or “for” (KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV).

[28:19]  ⁶ tn The words “it will come through” are supplied in the translation. The verb “will sweep by” does double duty in the parallel structure.
