Yesaya 5:5

5:5 Now I will inform you

what I am about to do to my vineyard:

I will remove its hedge and turn it into pasture, ¹ 

I will break its wall and allow animals to graze there. ² 

Yesaya 28:18

28:18 Your treaty with death will be dissolved; ³ 

your agreement ⁴  with Sheol will not last. ⁵ 

When the overwhelming judgment sweeps by, ⁶ 

you will be overrun by it. ⁷ 

Yesaya 44:3

44:3 For I will pour water on the parched ground ⁸ 

and cause streams to flow ⁹  on the dry land.

I will pour my spirit on your offspring

and my blessing on your children.

Yesaya 58:11

58:11 The Lord will continually lead you;

he will feed you even in parched regions. ¹⁰ 

He will give you renewed strength, ¹¹ 

and you will be like a well-watered garden,

like a spring that continually produces water.

[5:5]  ¹ tn Heb “and it will become [a place for] grazing.” בָּעַר (ba’ar, “grazing”) is a homonym of the more often used verb “to burn.”

[5:5]  ² tn Heb “and it will become a trampled place” (NASB “trampled ground”).

[28:18]  ³ tn On the meaning of כָּפַר (kafar) in this context, see HALOT 494 s.v. I כפר and J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:515, n. 9.

[28:18]  ⁴ tn Normally the noun חָזוּת (khazut) means “vision.” See the note at v. 15.

[28:18]  ⁵ tn Or “will not stand” (NIV, NRSV).

[28:18]  ⁶ tn See the note at v. 15.

[28:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “you will become a trampling place for it.”

[44:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “the thirsty.” Parallelism suggests that dry ground is in view (see “dry land” in the next line.)

[44:3]  ⁹ tn Heb “and streams”; KJV “floods.” The verb “cause…to flow” is supplied in the second line for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[58:11]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he will satisfy in parched regions your appetite.”

[58:11]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and your bones he will strengthen.”
