Yesaya 13:12

13:12 I will make human beings more scarce than pure gold,

and people more scarce ¹  than gold from Ophir.

Yesaya 26:20

26:20 Go, my people! Enter your inner rooms!

Close your doors behind you!

Hide for a little while,

until his angry judgment is over! ² 

Yesaya 37:1

37:1 When King Hezekiah heard this, ³  he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and went to the Lord’s temple.

[13:12]  ¹ tn The verb is supplied in the translation from the first line. The verb in the first line (“I will make scarce”) does double duty in the parallel structure of the verse.

[26:20]  ² tn Heb “until anger passes by.”

[37:1]  ³ tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.
