43:17 the one who led chariots and horses to destruction, 1
together with a mighty army.
They fell down, 2 never to rise again;
they were extinguished, put out like a burning wick:
[43:17] 1 tn Heb “led out chariots and horses.” The words “to destruction” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The verse refers to the destruction of the Egyptians at the Red Sea.
[43:17] 2 tn Heb “lay down”; NAB “lie prostrate together”; CEV “lie dead”; NRSV “they lie down.”
