Yesaya 32:2

32:2 Each of them ¹  will be like a shelter from the wind

and a refuge from a rainstorm;

like streams of water in a dry region

and like the shade of a large cliff in a parched land.

Yesaya 41:29

41:29 Look, all of them are nothing, ² 

their accomplishments are nonexistent;

their metal images lack any real substance. ³ 

[32:2]  ¹ tn Heb “a man,” but אִישׁ (’ish) probably refers here to “each” of the officials mentioned in the previous verse.

[41:29]  ² tc The Hebrew text has אָוֶן (’aven, “deception,” i.e., “false”), but the Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a has אין (“nothing”), which forms a better parallel with אֶפֶס (’efes, “nothing”) in the next line. See also 40:17 and 41:12.

[41:29]  ³ tn Heb “their statues are wind and nothing”; NASB “wind and emptiness”; NIV “wind and confusion.”
