Isaiah 6:11

6:11 I replied, “How long, sovereign master?” He said,

“Until cities are in ruins and unpopulated,

and houses are uninhabited,

and the land is ruined and devastated,

Isaiah 26:5

26:5 Indeed, ¹  the Lord knocks down those who live in a high place,

he brings down an elevated town;

he brings it down to the ground, ² 

he throws it down to the dust.

[26:5]  ¹ tn Or “For” (KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV).

[26:5]  ² tn The translation assumes that יַשְׁפִּילֶנָּה (yashpilennah) goes with the preceding words “an elevated town,” and that יַשְׁפִּילָהּ (yashpilah) belongs with the following words, “to the ground.” See J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:469, n. 7.
