Yesaya 16:6

16:6 We have heard about Moab’s pride,

their great arrogance,

their boasting, pride, and excess. ¹ 

But their boastful claims are empty! ² 

Yesaya 40:27

40:27 Why do you say, Jacob,

Why do you say, Israel,

“The Lord is not aware of what is happening to me, ³ 

My God is not concerned with my vindication”? ⁴ 

[16:6]  ¹ tn עֶבְרָה (’evrah) often means “anger, fury,” but here it appears to refer to boastful outbursts or excessive claims. See HALOT 782 s.v. עֶבְרָה.

[16:6]  ² tn Heb “not so his boasting.”

[40:27]  ³ tn Heb “my way is hidden from the Lord” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[40:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “and from my God my justice passes away”; NRSV “my right is disregarded by my God.”
