Isaiah 6:6

6:6 But then one of the seraphs flew toward me. In his hand was a hot coal he had taken from the altar with tongs.

Isaiah 13:14

13:14 Like a frightened gazelle ¹ 

or a sheep with no shepherd,

each will turn toward home, ² 

each will run to his homeland.

Isaiah 34:8

34:8 For the Lord has planned a day of revenge, ³ 

a time when he will repay Edom for her hostility toward Zion. ⁴

¹ tn Or “like a gazelle being chased.” The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

² tn Heb “his people” (cf. KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV) or “his nation” (cf. TEV “their own countries”).

³ tn Heb “for a day of vengeance [is] for the Lord.”

⁴ tn Heb “a year of repayment for the strife of Zion.” The translation assumes that רִיב (riv) refers to Edom’s hostility toward Zion. Another option is to understand רִיב (riv) as referring to the Lord’s taking up Zion’s cause. In this case one might translate, “a time when he will repay Edom and vindicate Zion.”
