Isaiah 33:11

33:11 You conceive straw,

you give birth to chaff;

your breath is a fire that destroys you.

Isaiah 66:7

66:7 Before she goes into labor, she gives birth!

Before her contractions begin, she delivers a boy!


tn The second person verb and pronominal forms in this verse are plural. The hostile nations are the addressed, as the next verse makes clear.

sn The hostile nations’ plans to destroy God’s people will come to nothing; their hostility will end up being self-destructive.
