Mazmur 37:15

37:15 Their swords will pierce ¹  their own hearts,

and their bows will be broken.

Yesaya 22:6

22:6 The Elamites picked up the quiver,

and came with chariots and horsemen; ² 

the men of Kir ³  prepared ⁴  the shield. ⁵ 

[37:15]  ¹ tn Heb “enter into.”

[22:6]  ² tn Heb “[with] the chariots of men, horsemen.”

[22:6]  ³ sn A distant region in the direction of Mesopotamia; see Amos 1:5; 9:7.

[22:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “Kir uncovers” (so NAB, NIV).

[22:6]  ⁵ sn The Elamites and men of Kir may here symbolize a fierce army from a distant land. If this oracle anticipates a Babylonian conquest of the city (see 39:5-7), then the Elamites and men of Kir are perhaps viewed here as mercenaries in the Babylonian army. See J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:410.
