Isaiah 28:19

28:19 Whenever it sweeps by, it will overtake you;

indeed, every morning it will sweep by,

it will come through during the day and the night.”

When this announcement is understood,

it will cause nothing but terror.

Isaiah 40:21

40:21 Do you not know?

Do you not hear?

Has it not been told to you since the very beginning?

Have you not understood from the time the earth’s foundations were made?


tn Or “for” (KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV).

tn The words “it will come through” are supplied in the translation. The verb “will sweep by” does double duty in the parallel structure.
