Yesaya 22:19

22:19 I will remove you from ¹  your office;

you will be thrown down ²  from your position.

Yesaya 23:9

23:9 The Lord who commands armies planned it –

to dishonor the pride that comes from all her beauty, ³ 

to humiliate all the dignitaries of the earth.

[22:19]  ¹ tn Heb “I will push you away from.”

[22:19]  ² tn Heb “he will throw you down.” The shift from the first to third person is peculiar and abrupt, but certainly not unprecedented in Hebrew poetry. See GKC 462 §144.p. The third person may be indefinite (“one will throw you down”), in which case the passive translation is justified.

[23:9]  ³ tn Heb “the pride of all the beauty.”
