Yesaya 22:19

22:19 I will remove you from ¹  your office;

you will be thrown down ²  from your position.

Yesaya 33:3

33:3 The nations run away when they hear a loud noise; ³ 

the nations scatter when you spring into action! ⁴ 

Yesaya 43:26

43:26 Remind me of what happened! Let’s debate!

You, prove to me that you are right! ⁵ 

[22:19]  ¹ tn Heb “I will push you away from.”

[22:19]  ² tn Heb “he will throw you down.” The shift from the first to third person is peculiar and abrupt, but certainly not unprecedented in Hebrew poetry. See GKC 462 §144.p. The third person may be indefinite (“one will throw you down”), in which case the passive translation is justified.

[33:3]  ³ tn Heb “at the sound of tumult the nations run away.”

[33:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “because of your exaltation the nations scatter.”

[43:26]  ⁵ tn Heb “you, tell in order that you may be right”; NAB “prove your innocence.”
