Yesaya 10:12
Konteks10:12 But when 1 the sovereign master 2 finishes judging 3 Mount Zion and Jerusalem, then I 4 will punish the king of Assyria for what he has proudly planned and for the arrogant attitude he displays. 5
Yesaya 33:1
Konteks33:1 The destroyer is as good as dead, 6
you who have not been destroyed!
The deceitful one is as good as dead, 7
the one whom others have not deceived!
When you are through destroying, you will be destroyed;
when you finish 8 deceiving, others will deceive you!
[10:12] 1 tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.
[10:12] 2 tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here and in vv. 16, 23, 24, 33 is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).
[10:12] 3 tn Heb “his work on/against.” Cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV “on”; NIV “against.”
[10:12] 4 tn The Lord is speaking here, as in vv. 5-6a.
[10:12] 5 tn Heb “I will visit [judgment] on the fruit of the greatness of the heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of the height of his eyes.” The proud Assyrian king is likened to a large, beautiful fruit tree.
[33:1] 6 tn Heb “Woe [to] the destroyer.”
[33:1] sn In this context “the destroyer” appears to refer collectively to the hostile nations (vv. 3-4). Assyria would probably have been primary in the minds of the prophet and his audience.
[33:1] 7 tn Heb “and the deceitful one”; NAB, NIV “O traitor”; NRSV “you treacherous one.” In the parallel structure הוֹי (hoy, “woe [to]”) does double duty.
[33:1] 8 tc The form in the Hebrew text appears to derive from an otherwise unattested verb נָלָה (nalah). The translation follows the Qumran scroll 1QIsaa in reading ככלתך, a Piel infinitival form from the verbal root כָּלָה (kalah), meaning “finish.”
