Isaiah 40:30

40:30 Even youths get tired and weary;

even strong young men clumsily stumble. ¹ 

Isaiah 25:2

the fortified town into a heap of ruins;

the fortress of foreigners ⁴  is no longer a city,

it will never be rebuilt.

Isaiah 60:19

60:19 The sun will no longer supply light for you by day,

nor will the moon’s brightness shine on you;

the Lord will be your permanent source of light –

the splendor of your God will shine upon you. ⁵ 

[40:30]  ¹ tn Heb “stumbling they stumble.” The verbal idea is emphasized by the infinitive absolute.

[25:2]  ² tn Or “For” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NRSV).

[25:2]  ³ tn The Hebrew text has “you have made from the city.” The prefixed mem (מ) on עִיר (’ir, “city”) was probably originally an enclitic mem suffixed to the preceding verb. See J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:456, n. 3.

[25:2]  ⁴ tc Some with support from the LXX emend זָרִים (zarim, “foreigners”) to זֵדִים (zedim, “the insolent”).

[60:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “and your God for your splendor.”
