2 Tawarikh 36:16

36:16 But they mocked God’s messengers, despised his warnings, ¹  and ridiculed his prophets. ²  Finally the Lord got very angry at his people and there was no one who could prevent his judgment. ³ 

Yesaya 28:22

28:22 So now, do not mock,

or your chains will become heavier!

For I have heard a message about decreed destruction,

from the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies, against the entire land. ⁴ 

[36:16]  ¹ tn Heb “his words.”

[36:16]  ² tn All three verbal forms (“mocked,” “despised,” and “ridiculed”) are active participles in the Hebrew text, indicating continual or repeated action. They made a habit of rejecting God’s prophetic messengers.

[36:16]  ³ tn Heb “until the anger of the Lord went up against his people until there was no healer.”

[28:22]  ⁴ tn Or “the whole earth” (KJV, ASV, NAB, NCV).
