Discovery BoxIsaiah 17:14 
Context17:14 In the evening there is sudden terror; 1
by morning they vanish. 2
This is the fate of those who try to plunder us,
the destiny of those who try to loot us! 3
Isaiah 30:29
Context30:29 You will sing
as you do in the evening when you are celebrating a festival.
You will be happy like one who plays a flute
as he goes to the mountain of the Lord, the Rock who shelters Israel. 4
Isaiah 59:10
Context59:10 We grope along the wall like the blind,
we grope like those who cannot see; 5
we stumble at noontime as if it were evening.
Though others are strong, we are like dead men. 6
1 tn Heb “at the time of evening, look, sudden terror.”
2 tn Heb “before morning he is not.”
3 tn Heb “this is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who loot us.”
4 tn Heb “[you will have] joy of heart, like the one going with a flute to enter the mountain of the Lord to the Rock of Israel.” The image here is not a foundational rock, but a rocky cliff where people could hide for protection (for example, the fortress of Masada).
5 tn Heb “like there are no eyes.”
6 tn Heb among the strong, like dead men.”
