Yesaya 24:11

24:11 They howl in the streets because of what happened to the wine; ¹ 

all joy turns to sorrow; ² 

celebrations disappear from the earth. ³ 

Yesaya 32:20

32:20 you will be blessed,

you who plant seed by all the banks of the streams, ⁴ 

you who let your ox and donkey graze. ⁵ 

[24:11]  ¹ tn Heb “[there is] an outcry over the wine in the streets.”

[24:11]  ² tn Heb “all joy turns to evening,” the darkness of evening symbolizing distress and sorrow.

[24:11]  ³ tn Heb “the joy of the earth disappears.”

[32:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “by all the waters.”

[32:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “who set free the foot of the ox and donkey”; NIV “letting your cattle and donkeys range free.”

[32:20]  sn This verse seems to anticipate a time when fertile land is available to cultivate and crops are so abundant that the farm animals can be allowed to graze freely.
