Yesaya 10:6

I ordered him to attack the people with whom I was angry, 3
to take plunder and to carry away loot,
to trample them down 4 like dirt in the streets.

[10:6] 2 tn Or “defiled”; cf. ASV “profane”; NAB “impious”; NCV “separated from God.”
[10:6] 3 tn Heb “and against the people of my anger I ordered him.”
[10:6] 4 tn Heb “to make it [i.e., the people] a trampled place.”
[37:18] 5 tn The Hebrew text here has “all the lands,” but the parallel text in 2 Kgs 19:17 has “the nations.”
