Yesaya 7:3

7:3 So the Lord told Isaiah, “Go out with your son Shear-jashub ¹  and meet Ahaz at the end of the conduit of the upper pool which is located on the road to the field where they wash and dry cloth. ² 

Yesaya 28:28

28:28 Grain is crushed,

though one certainly does not thresh it forever.

The wheel of one’s wagon rolls over it,

but his horses do not crush it.

Yesaya 34:7

34:7 Wild oxen will be slaughtered ³  along with them,

as well as strong bulls. ⁴ 

Their land is drenched with blood,

their soil is covered with fat.

Yesaya 43:2

43:2 When you pass through the waters, I am with you;

when you pass ⁵  through the streams, they will not overwhelm you.

When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;

the flames will not harm ⁶  you.

[7:3]  ¹ tn The name means “a remnant will return.” Perhaps in this context, where the Lord is trying to encourage Ahaz, the name suggests that only a few of the enemy invaders will return home; the rest will be defeated.

[7:3]  ² tn Heb “the field of the washer”; traditionally “the fuller’s field” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NRSV); NIV “the Washerman’s Field.”

[34:7]  ³ tn Heb “will go down”; NAB “shall be struck down.”

[34:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “and bulls along with strong ones.” Perhaps this refers to the leaders.

[43:2]  ⁵ tn The verb is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).

[43:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “burn” (so NASB); NAB, NRSV, NLT “consume”; NIV “set you ablaze.”
