Yesaya 5:25

5:25 So the Lord is furious ¹  with his people;

he lifts ²  his hand and strikes them.

The mountains shake,

and corpses lie like manure ³  in the middle of the streets.

Despite all this, his anger does not subside,

and his hand is ready to strike again. ⁴ 

Yesaya 14:26

14:26 This is the plan I have devised for the whole earth;

my hand is ready to strike all the nations.” ⁵ 

Yesaya 16:14

16:14 Now the Lord makes this announcement: “Within exactly three years ⁶  Moab’s splendor will disappear, along with all her many people; there will be just a few, insignificant survivors left.” ⁷ 

[5:25]  ¹ tn Heb “the anger of the Lord rages.”

[5:25]  ² tn Or “extends”; KJV, ASV “he hath stretched forth.”

[5:25]  ³ tn Or “garbage” (NCV, CEV, NLT); NAB, NASB, NIV “refuse.”

[5:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “in all this his anger is not turned, and still his hand is outstretched.”

[14:26]  ⁵ tn Heb “and this is the hand that is outstretched over all the nations.”

[16:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “in three years, like the years of a hired worker.” The three years must be reckoned exactly, just as a hired worker would carefully keep track of the time he had agreed to work for an employer in exchange for a predetermined wage.

[16:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the splendor of Moab will be disgraced with all the great multitude, and a small little remnant will not be strong.”
