Isaiah 3:3

the respected citizens, 1 

advisers and those skilled in magical arts, 2 

and those who know incantations.

Isaiah 9:15

Context

9:15 The leaders and the highly respected people 3  are the head,

the prophets who teach lies are the tail.

1 tn Heb “the ones lifted up with respect to the face.” For another example of the Hebrew idiom, see 2 Kgs 5:1.

2 tn Heb “and the wise with respect to magic.” On the meaning of חֲרָשִׁים (kharashim, “magic”), see HALOT 358 s.v. III חרשׁ. Some understand here a homonym, meaning “craftsmen.” In this case, one could translate, “skilled craftsmen” (cf. NIV, NASB).

3 tn Heb “the elder and the one lifted up with respect to the face.” For another example of the Hebrew idiom, see 2 Kgs 5:1.
