Yesaya 21:6

21:6 For this is what the sovereign master ²  has told me:

“Go, post a guard!

He must report what he sees.

Yesaya 21:16-17

21:16 For this is what the sovereign master ³  has told me: “Within exactly one year ⁴  all the splendor of Kedar will come to an end. 21:17 Just a handful of archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be left.” ⁵  Indeed, ⁶  the Lord God of Israel has spoken.

“You were sold for nothing,

and you will not be redeemed for money.”

[8:11]  ¹ tc Heb “with strength of hand and he warned me from walking in the way of these people, saying.” Some want to change the pointing of the suffix and thereby emend the Qal imperfect יִסְּרֵנִי (yissÿreni, “he was warning me”) to the more common Piel perfect יִסְּרַנִי (yissÿrani, “he warned me”). Others follow the lead of the Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a and read יְסִירֵנִי (yÿsireni, “he was turning me aside,” a Hiphil imperfect from סוּר, sur).

[21:6]  ² tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here and in vv. 8, 16 is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[21:16]  ³ tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[21:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “in still a year, like the years of a hired worker.” See the note at 16:14.

[21:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “and the remnant of the number of the bow, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, will be few.”

[21:17]  ⁶ tn Or “for” (KJV, ASV, NAB, NASB, NRSV).

[33:10]  ⁷ tn Or “lift myself up” (KJV); NLT “show my power and might.”

[39:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “good” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT); NAB “favorable.”

[39:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “and he said.” The verb אָמַר (’amar, “say”) is sometimes used of what one thinks (that is, says to oneself).

[39:8]  ¹⁰ tn Or “surely”; cf. CEV “At least.”
