Footnotes

  1. 16 Heb “[with] the chariots of men, horsemen.”
  2. 17 A distant region in the direction of Mesopotamia; see Amos 1:5; 9:7.
  3. 18 Heb “Kir uncovers” (so , ).
  4. 19 The Elamites and men of Kir may here symbolize a fierce army from a distant land. If this oracle anticipates a Babylonian conquest of the city (see 39:5–7), then the Elamites and men of Kir are perhaps viewed here as mercenaries in the Babylonian army. See J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (), 1:.
