Yesaya 17:4

17:4 “At that time ¹ 

Jacob’s splendor will be greatly diminished, ² 

and he will become skin and bones. ³ 

Yesaya 22:1

The Lord Will Judge Jerusalem

22:1 Here is a message about the Valley of Vision: ⁴ 

What is the reason ⁵ 

that all of you go up to the rooftops?

Yesaya 41:24

41:24 Look, you are nothing, and your accomplishments are nonexistent;

the one who chooses to worship you is disgusting. ⁶ 

[17:4]  ¹ tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV). The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[17:4]  ² tn Heb “will be tiny.”

[17:4]  ³ tn Heb “and the fatness of his flesh will be made lean.”

[22:1]  ⁴ sn The following message pertains to Jerusalem. The significance of referring to the city as the Valley of Vision is uncertain. Perhaps the Hinnom Valley is in view, but why it is associated with a prophetic revelatory “vision” is not entirely clear. Maybe the Hinnom Valley is called this because the destruction that will take place there is the focal point of this prophetic message (see v. 5).

[22:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “What to you, then?”

[41:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “an object of disgust [is he who] chooses you.”
