Yesaya 5:6

5:6 I will make it a wasteland;

no one will prune its vines or hoe its ground, ¹ 

and thorns and briers will grow there.

I will order the clouds

not to drop any rain on it.

Yesaya 10:6

10:6 I sent him ²  against a godless ³  nation,

I ordered him to attack the people with whom I was angry, ⁴ 

to take plunder and to carry away loot,

to trample them down ⁵  like dirt in the streets.

[5:6]  ¹ tn Heb “it will not be pruned or hoed” (so NASB); ASV and NRSV both similar.

[10:6]  ² sn Throughout this section singular forms are used to refer to Assyria; perhaps the king of Assyria is in view (see v. 12).

[10:6]  ³ tn Or “defiled”; cf. ASV “profane”; NAB “impious”; NCV “separated from God.”

[10:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “and against the people of my anger I ordered him.”

[10:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “to make it [i.e., the people] a trampled place.”
