Yesaya 22:6

and came with chariots and horsemen; 1
the men of Kir 2 prepared 3 the shield. 4
Yesaya 59:14
Konteks59:14 Justice is driven back;
godliness 5 stands far off.
Indeed, 6 honesty stumbles in the city square
and morality is not even able to enter.
[22:6] 1 tn Heb “[with] the chariots of men, horsemen.”
[22:6] 2 sn A distant region in the direction of Mesopotamia; see Amos 1:5; 9:7.
[22:6] 3 tn Heb “Kir uncovers” (so NAB, NIV).
[22:6] 4 sn The Elamites and men of Kir may here symbolize a fierce army from a distant land. If this oracle anticipates a Babylonian conquest of the city (see 39:5-7), then the Elamites and men of Kir are perhaps viewed here as mercenaries in the Babylonian army. See J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:410.
[59:14] 5 tn Or “righteousness” (ASV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); KJV, NAB “justice.”
