30:31 Indeed, the Lord’s shout will shatter Assyria; 1
he will beat them with a club.
45:2 “I will go before you
and level mountains. 2
Bronze doors I will shatter
and iron bars 3 I will hack through.
1 tn Heb “Indeed by the voice of the Lord Assyria will be shattered.”
2 tc The form הֲדוּרִים (hadurim) makes little, if any, sense here. It is probably a corruption of an original הָרָרִים (hararim, “mountains”), the reduplicated form of הָר (har, “mountain”).
3 tn That is, on the gates. Cf. CEV “break the iron bars on bronze gates.”
