Yesaya 22:25

22:25 “At that time,” ¹  says the Lord who commands armies, “the peg fastened into a solid place will come loose. It will be cut off and fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut off.” ²  Indeed, ³  the Lord has spoken.

Yesaya 47:8

47:8 So now, listen to this,

O one who lives so lavishly, ⁴ 

who lives securely,

who says to herself, ⁵ 

‘I am unique! No one can compare to me! ⁶ 

I will never have to live as a widow;

I will never lose my children.’ ⁷ 

[22:25]  ¹ tn Or “In that day” (KJV).

[22:25]  ² sn Eliakim’s authority, though seemingly secure, will eventually be removed, and with it his family’s prominence.

[22:25]  ³ tn Or “for” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NRSV).

[47:8]  ⁴ tn Or perhaps, “voluptuous one” (NAB); NAB “you sensual one”; NLT “You are a pleasure-crazy kingdom.”

[47:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “the one who says in her heart.”

[47:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “I [am], and besides me there is no other.” See Zeph 2:15.

[47:8]  ⁷ tn Heb “I will not live [as] a widow, and I will not know loss of children.”
