Yesaya 1:6
Konteks1:6 From the soles of your feet to your head,
there is no spot that is unharmed. 1
There are only bruises, cuts,
and open wounds.
They have not been cleansed 2 or bandaged,
nor have they been treated 3 with olive oil. 4
Yesaya 37:22
Konteks37:22 this is what the Lord says about him: 5
“The virgin daughter Zion 6
despises you – she makes fun of you;
daughter Jerusalem
shakes her head after you. 7
[1:6] 1 tn Heb “there is not in it health”; NAB “there is no sound spot.”
[1:6] 3 tn Heb “softened” (so NASB, NRSV); NIV “soothed.”
[1:6] 4 sn This verse describes wounds like those one would receive in battle. These wounds are comprehensive and without remedy.
[37:22] 5 tn Heb “this is the word which the Lord has spoken about him.”
[37:22] 6 sn Zion (Jerusalem) is pictured here as a young, vulnerable daughter whose purity is being threatened by the would-be Assyrian rapist. The personification hints at the reality which the young girls of the city would face if the Assyrians conquer it.
[37:22] 7 sn Shaking the head was a mocking gesture of derision.
