Isaiah 5:29-30
New English Translation
Isaiah 5:29-30
New English Translation
29 Their roar is like a lion’s;
they roar like young lions.
They growl and seize their prey;
they drag it away and no one can come to the rescue.
30 At that time[a] they will growl over their prey,[b]
it will sound like sea waves crashing against rocks.[c]
One will look out over the land and see the darkness of disaster,
clouds will turn the light into darkness.[d]
Footnotes
- Isaiah 5:30 tn Or “in that day” (KJV).
- Isaiah 5:30 tn Heb “over it”; the referent (the prey) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- Isaiah 5:30 tn Heb “like the growling of the sea.”
- Isaiah 5:30 tn Heb “and one will gaze toward the land, and look, darkness of distress, and light will grow dark by its [the land’s?] clouds.”sn The motif of light turning to darkness is ironic when compared to v. 20. There the sinners turn light (= moral/ethical good) to darkness (= moral/ethical evil). Now ironically the Lord will turn light (= the sinners’ sphere of existence and life) into darkness (= the judgment and death).
