Yesaya 5:24

5:24 Therefore, as flaming fire ¹  devours straw,

and dry grass disintegrates in the flames,

so their root will rot,

and their flower will blow away like dust. ² 

For they have rejected the law of the Lord who commands armies,

they have spurned the commands ³  of the Holy One of Israel. ⁴ 

Yesaya 30:12

30:12 For this reason this is what the Holy One of Israel says:

“You have rejected this message; ⁵ 

you trust instead in your ability to oppress and trick, ⁶ 

and rely on that kind of behavior. ⁷ 

[5:24]  ¹ tn Heb “a tongue of fire” (so NASB), referring to a tongue-shaped flame.

[5:24]  ² sn They are compared to a flowering plant that withers quickly in a hot, arid climate.

[5:24]  ³ tn Heb “the word.”

[5:24]  ⁴ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

[30:12]  ⁵ tn The sentence actually begins with the word “because.” In the Hebrew text vv. 12-13 are one long sentence.

[30:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “and you trust in oppression and cunning.”

[30:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “and you lean on it”; NAB “and depend on it.”
