Yesaya 22:2

22:2 The noisy city is full of raucous sounds;

the town is filled with revelry. ¹ 

Your slain were not cut down by the sword;

they did not die in battle. ² 

Yesaya 42:13

42:13 The Lord emerges like a hero,

like a warrior he inspires himself for battle; ³ 

he shouts, yes, he yells,

he shows his enemies his power. ⁴ 

[22:2]  ¹ tn Heb “the boisterous town.” The phrase is parallel to “the noisy city” in the preceding line.

[22:2]  ² sn Apparently they died from starvation during the siege that preceded the final conquest of the city. See J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:409.

[42:13]  ³ tn Heb “like a man of war he stirs up zeal” (NIV similar).

[42:13]  ⁴ tn Or perhaps, “he triumphs over his enemies” (cf. NIV); NLT “will crush all his enemies.”
