Isaiah 7:25

7:25 They will stay away from all the hills that were cultivated, for fear of the thorns and briers. ¹  Cattle will graze there and sheep will trample on them. ² 

Isaiah 22:18

22:18 He will wind you up tightly into a ball

and throw you into a wide, open land. ³ 

There you will die,

and there with you will be your impressive chariots, ⁴ 

which bring disgrace to the house of your master. ⁵ 

Isaiah 34:15

34:15 Owls ⁶  will make nests and lay eggs ⁷  there;

they will hatch them and protect them. ⁸ 

Yes, hawks ⁹  will gather there,

each with its mate.

[7:25]  ¹ tn Heb “and all the hills which were hoed with a hoe, you will not go there [for] fear of the thorns and briers.”

[7:25]  ² tn Heb “and it will become a pasture for cattle and a trampling place for sheep.”

[22:18]  ³ tn Heb “and he will tightly [or “surely”] wind you [with] winding like a ball, to a land broad of hands [i.e., “sides”].”

[22:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “and there the chariots of your splendor.”

[22:18]  ⁵ sn Apparently the reference to chariots alludes to Shebna’s excessive pride, which in turn brings disgrace to the royal family.

[34:15]  ⁵ tn Hebrew קִפּוֹז (qippoz) occurs only here; the precise meaning of the word is uncertain.

[34:15]  ⁶ tn For this proposed meaning for Hebrew מָלַט (malat), see HALOT 589 s.v. I מלט.

[34:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “and brood [over them] in her shadow.”

[34:15]  ⁸ tn The precise meaning of דַּיָּה (dayyah) is uncertain, though the term appears to refer to some type of bird of prey, perhaps a vulture.
