Yesaya 21:6

21:6 For this is what the sovereign master ¹  has told me:

“Go, post a guard!

He must report what he sees.

Yesaya 32:13

32:13 Mourn ²  over the land of my people,

which is overgrown with thorns and briers,

and over all the once-happy houses ³ 

in the city filled with revelry. ⁴ 

[21:6]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here and in vv. 8, 16 is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[32:13]  ² tn “Mourn” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text vv. 12-13 are one long sentence.

[32:13]  ³ tn Heb “indeed, over all the houses of joy.” It is not certain if this refers to individual homes or to places where parties and celebrations were held.

[32:13]  ⁴ sn This same phrase is used in 22:2.
