Yesaya 15:3
Konteks15:3 In their streets they wear sackcloth;
on their roofs and in their town squares
all of them wail,
they fall down weeping.
Yesaya 34:9
Konteks34:9 Edom’s 1 streams will be turned into pitch
and her soil into brimstone;
her land will become burning pitch.
Yesaya 34:13
Konteks34:13 Her fortresses will be overgrown with thorns;
thickets and weeds will grow 2 in her fortified cities.
Jackals will settle there;
ostriches will live there. 3
[34:9] 1 tn Heb “her”; the referent (Edom) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[34:13] 2 tn The words “will grow” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
[34:13] 3 tc Heb “and she will be a settlement for wild dogs, a dwelling place for ostriches.” The translation assumes an emendation of חָצִיר (khatsir, “grass”) to חָצֵר (khatser, “settlement”). One of the Qumran scrolls of Isaiah (1QIsaa) supports this emendation (cf. HALOT 344 s.v. II חָצִיר)
