Discovery BoxIsaiah 24:1 
ContextThe Lord Will Judge the Earth
24:1 Look, the Lord is ready to devastate the earth
and leave it in ruins;

and scatter its inhabitants.
Isaiah 27:6
Context27:6 The time is coming when Jacob will take root; 1
Israel will blossom and grow branches.
1 tc The Hebrew text reads literally, “the coming ones, let Jacob take root.” הַבָּאִים (habba’im, “the coming ones”) should probably be emended to יָמִים בָאִים (yamim va’im, “days [are] coming”) or בְּיָמִים הַבָּאִים (biyamim habba’im, “in the coming days”).
2 tn Heb “fruit” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).
3 sn This apparently refers to a future population explosion. See 26:18.
