Yesaya 14:16

14:16 Those who see you stare at you,

they look at you carefully, thinking: ¹ 

“Is this the man who shook the earth,

the one who made kingdoms tremble?

Yesaya 26:10

26:10 If the wicked are shown mercy,

they do not learn about justice. ² 

Even in a land where right is rewarded, they act unjustly; ³ 

they do not see the Lord’s majesty revealed.

[14:16]  ¹ tn The word “thinking” is supplied in the translation in order to make it clear that the next line records their thoughts as they gaze at him.

[26:10]  ² tn As in verse 9b, the translation understands צֶדֶק (tsedeq) in the sense of “justice,” but it is possible that it carries the nuance “righteousness,” in which case one might translate, “they do not learn to live in a righteous manner.”

[26:10]  ³ tn Heb “in a land of uprightness they act unjustly”; NRSV “they deal perversely.”
