Yesaya 14:30
Konteks14:30 The poor will graze in my pastures; 1
the needy will rest securely.
But I will kill your root by famine;
it will put to death all your survivors. 2
Yesaya 37:17
Konteks37:17 Pay attention, Lord, and hear! Open your eyes, Lord, and observe! Listen to this entire message Sennacherib sent and how he taunts the living God! 3
[14:30] 1 tc The Hebrew text has, “the firstborn of the poor will graze.” “Firstborn” may be used here in an idiomatic sense to indicate the very poorest of the poor. See BDB 114 s.v. בְּכוֹר. The translation above assumes an emendation of בְּכוֹרֵי (bÿkhorey, “firstborn of”) to בְּכָרַי (bekharay, “in my pastures”).
[14:30] 2 tn Heb “your remnant” (so NAB, NRSV).
[37:17] 3 tn Heb “Hear all the words of Sennacherib which he sent to taunt the living God.”
