Ayub 40:7

40:7 “Get ready for a difficult task ¹  like a man.

I will question you and you will inform me!

Yesaya 5:5

5:5 Now I will inform you

what I am about to do to my vineyard:

I will remove its hedge and turn it into pasture, ² 

I will break its wall and allow animals to graze there. ³ 

[40:7]  ¹ tn See note on “task” in 38:3.

[5:5]  ² tn Heb “and it will become [a place for] grazing.” בָּעַר (ba’ar, “grazing”) is a homonym of the more often used verb “to burn.”

[5:5]  ³ tn Heb “and it will become a trampled place” (NASB “trampled ground”).
