Yesaya 34:12

34:12 Her nobles will have nothing left to call a kingdom

and all her officials will disappear. ¹ 

Yesaya 38:11

38:11 “I thought,

‘I will no longer see the Lord ²  in the land of the living,

I will no longer look on humankind with the inhabitants of the world. ³ 

Yesaya 59:6

59:6 Their webs cannot be used for clothing;

they cannot cover themselves with what they make.

Their deeds are sinful;

they commit violent crimes. ⁴ 

[34:12]  ¹ tn Heb “will be nothing”; NCV, TEV, NLT “will all be gone.”

[38:11]  ² tn The Hebrew text has יָהּ יָהּ (yah yah, the abbreviated form of יְהוָה [yÿhvah] repeated), but this is probably a corruption of יְהוָה.

[38:11]  ³ tc The Hebrew text has חָדֶל (khadel), which appears to be derived from a verbal root meaning “to cease, refrain.” But the form has probably suffered an error of transmission; the original form (attested in a few medieval Hebrew mss) was likely חֶלֶד (kheled, “world”).

[59:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “their deeds are deeds of sin, and the work of violence [is] in their hands.”
