Yesaya 1:28

1:28 All rebellious sinners will be shattered, ¹ 

those who abandon the Lord will perish.

Yesaya 33:7

33:7 Look, ambassadors ²  cry out in the streets;

messengers sent to make peace ³  weep bitterly.

[1:28]  ¹ tn Heb “and [there will be] a shattering of rebels and sinners together.”

[33:7]  ² tn The meaning of the Hebrew word is unknown. Proposals include “heroes” (cf. KJV, ASV “valiant ones”; NASB, NIV “brave men”); “priests,” “residents [of Jerusalem].” The present translation assumes that the term is synonymous with “messengers of peace,” with which it corresponds in the parallel structure of the verse.

[33:7]  ³ tn Heb “messengers of peace,” apparently those responsible for negotiating the agreements that have been broken (see v. 8).
