2 Raja-raja 22:13

22:13 “Go, seek an oracle from ¹  the Lord for me and the people – for all Judah. Find out about ²  the words of this scroll that has been discovered. For the Lord’s fury has been ignited against us, ³  because our ancestors have not obeyed the words of this scroll by doing all that it instructs us to do.” ⁴ 

Ayub 40:6

The Lord’s Second Speech ⁵ 

40:6 Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind:

Yesaya 10:17

10:17 The light of Israel ⁶  will become a fire,

their Holy One ⁷  will become a flame;

it will burn and consume the Assyrian king’s ⁸  briers

and his thorns in one day.

[22:13]  ¹ tn Or “inquire of.”

[22:13]  ² tn Heb “concerning.”

[22:13]  ³ tn Heb “for great is the anger of the Lord which has been ignited against us.”

[22:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “by doing all that is written concerning us.” Perhaps עָלֵינוּ (’alenu), “concerning us,” should be altered to עָלָיו (’alav), “upon it,” in which case one could translate, “by doing all that is written in it.”

[40:6]  ⁵ sn The speech can be divided into three parts: the invitation to Job to assume the throne and rule the world (40:7-14), the description of Behemoth (40:15-24), and the description of Leviathan (41:1-34).

[10:17]  ⁶ tn In this context the “Light of Israel” is a divine title (note the parallel title “his holy one”). The title points to God’s royal splendor, which overshadows and, when transformed into fire, destroys the “majestic glory” of the king of Assyria (v. 16b).

[10:17]  ⁷ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

[10:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “his.” In vv. 17-19 the Assyrian king and his empire is compared to a great forest and orchard that are destroyed by fire (symbolic of the Lord).
