Footnotes
- Isaiah 13:5 tn Heb “from the end of the sky.”
- Isaiah 13:5 tn Or “anger”; cf. KJV, ASV “the weapons of his indignation.”
- Isaiah 13:5 tn Or perhaps, “land” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NLT). Even though the heading and subsequent context (see v. 17) indicate Babylon’s judgment is in view, the chapter has a cosmic flavor suggesting that the coming judgment is universal in scope. Perhaps Babylon’s downfall occurs in conjunction with a wider judgment, or the cosmic style is poetic hyperbole used to emphasize the magnitude and importance of the coming event.
