Yesaya 14:32

14:32 How will they respond to the messengers of this nation? ¹ 

Indeed, the Lord has made Zion secure;

the oppressed among his people will find safety in her.

Yesaya 30:13

30:13 So this sin will become your downfall.

You will be like a high wall

that bulges and cracks and is ready to collapse;

it crumbles suddenly, in a flash. ² 

Yesaya 44:6

The Absurdity of Idolatry

44:6 This is what the Lord, Israel’s king, says,

their protector, ³  the Lord who commands armies:

“I am the first and I am the last,

there is no God but me.

[14:32]  ¹ sn The question forces the Philistines to consider the dilemma they will face – surrender and oppression, or battle and death.

[30:13]  ² tn The verse reads literally, “So this sin will become for you like a breach ready to fall, bulging on a high wall, the breaking of which comes suddenly, in a flash.” Their sin produces guilt and will result in judgment. Like a wall that collapses their fall will be swift and sudden.

[44:6]  ³ tn Heb “his kinsman redeemer.” See the note at 41:14.
