a child will be able to count them. ²

Yesaya 37:18

37:18 It is true, Lord, that the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the nations ⁴  and their lands.

[6:12]  ¹ tn Heb “and great is the abandonment in the midst of the land.”

[10:19]  ² tn Heb “and the rest of the trees of his forest will be counted, and a child will record them.”

[12:5]  ³ tc The translation follows the marginal reading (Qere), which is a Hophal participle from יָדַע (yada’), understood here in a gerundive sense.

[37:18]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text here has “all the lands,” but the parallel text in 2 Kgs 19:17 has “the nations.”
