Yesaya 14:30

14:30 The poor will graze in my pastures; ¹ 

the needy will rest securely.

But I will kill your root by famine;

it will put to death all your survivors. ² 

Yesaya 29:19

29:19 The downtrodden will again rejoice in the Lord;

the poor among humankind will take delight ³  in the Holy One of Israel. ⁴ 

[14:30]  ¹ tc The Hebrew text has, “the firstborn of the poor will graze.” “Firstborn” may be used here in an idiomatic sense to indicate the very poorest of the poor. See BDB 114 s.v. בְּכוֹר. The translation above assumes an emendation of בְּכוֹרֵי (bÿkhorey, “firstborn of”) to בְּכָרַי (bekharay, “in my pastures”).

[14:30]  ² tn Heb “your remnant” (so NAB, NRSV).

[29:19]  ³ tn Or “will rejoice” (NIV, NCV, NLT).

[29:19]  ⁴ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.
