Isaiah 40:16

40:16 Not even Lebanon could supply enough firewood for a sacrifice;

its wild animals would not provide enough burnt offerings.

Isaiah 65:3

65:3 These people continually and blatantly offend me

as they sacrifice in their sacred orchards

and burn incense on brick altars.


tn The words “for a sacrifice” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

sn The point is that not even the Lebanon forest could supply enough wood and animals for an adequate sacrifice to the Lord.

tn Heb “the people who provoke me to anger to my face continually.”

tn Or “gardens” (KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

tn Or perhaps, “on tiles.”
