Isaiah 9:16

9:16 The leaders of this nation were misleading people,

and the people being led were destroyed. ¹ 

Isaiah 29:24

29:24 Those who stray morally will gain understanding; ² 

those who complain will acquire insight. ³ 

[9:16]  ¹ tn Heb “and the ones being led were swallowed up.” Instead of taking מְבֻלָּעִים (mÿbulla’im) from בָּלַע (bala’, “to swallow”), HALOT 134 s.v. בלע proposes a rare homonymic root בלע (“confuse”) here.

[29:24]  ² tn Heb “and the ones who stray in spirit will know understanding.”

[29:24]  ³ tn Heb “will learn instruction”; cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT “will accept instruction.”
