Isaiah 41:7

Context

41:7 The craftsman encourages the metalsmith,

the one who wields the hammer encourages 1  the one who pounds on the anvil.

He approves the quality of the welding, 2 

and nails it down so it won’t fall over.”

Isaiah 10:15

Context

10:15 Does an ax exalt itself over the one who wields it,

or a saw magnify itself over the one who cuts with it? 3 

As if a scepter should brandish the one who raises it,

or a staff should lift up what is not made of wood!

1 tn The verb “encourages” is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).

2 tn Heb “saying of the welding, ‘It is good.’”

3 tn Heb “the one who pushes it back and forth”; KJV “him that shaketh it”; ASV “him that wieldeth it.”
