Footnotes
- Isaiah 2:11 tn Heb “and the eyes of the pride of men will be brought low, and the arrogance of men will be brought down.” The repetition of the verbs שָׁפַל (shafal) and שָׁחָח (shakhakh) from v. 9 draws attention to the appropriate nature of the judgment. Those proud men who “bow low” before idols will be forced to “bow low” before God when he judges their sin.
- Isaiah 2:11 tn Or “elevated”; CEV “honored.”
- Isaiah 2:12 tn Heb “indeed [or “for”] the Lord of Heaven’s Armies [traditionally, “the Lord of hosts”] has a day.”
- Isaiah 2:12 tn Or “against” (NAB, NASB, NRSV).
