2 Raja-raja 17:4

Yesaya 8:12

8:12 “Do not say, ‘Conspiracy,’ every time these people say the word. ⁴ 

Don’t be afraid of what scares them; don’t be terrified.

[17:4]  ¹ tn Heb “and the king of Assyria found in Hoshea conspiracy.”

[17:4]  ² sn For discussion of this name, see HALOT 744 s.v. סוֹא and M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 196.

[17:4]  ³ tn Heb “and bound him in the house of confinement.”

[8:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “Do not say, ‘Conspiracy,’ with respect to all which these people say, ‘Conspiracy.’” The verb translated “do not say” is second masculine plural, indicating that this exhortation is directed to Isaiah and other followers of the Lord (see v. 16).

[8:12]  sn The background of this command is uncertain. Perhaps the “conspiracy” in view is the alliance between Israel and Syria. Some of the people may even have thought that individuals in Judah were plotting with Israel and Syria to overthrow the king.
