Isaiah 6:11

Context

6:11 I replied, “How long, sovereign master?” He said,

“Until cities are in ruins and unpopulated,

and houses are uninhabited,

and the land is ruined and devastated,

Isaiah 13:21

Context

13:21 Wild animals will rest there,

the ruined 1  houses will be full of hyenas. 2 

Ostriches will live there,

wild goats will skip among the ruins. 3 

Isaiah 32:13

Context

32:13 Mourn 4  over the land of my people,

which is overgrown with thorns and briers,

and over all the once-happy houses 5 

in the city filled with revelry. 6 

1 tn The word “ruined” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

2 tn The precise referent of this word in uncertain. See HALOT 29 s.v. *אֹחַ. Various English versions translate as “owls” (e.g., NAB, NASB), “wild dogs” (NCV); “jackals” (NIV); “howling creatures” (NRSV, NLT).

3 tn Heb “will skip there.”

4 tn “Mourn” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text vv. 12-13 are one long sentence.

5 tn Heb “indeed, over all the houses of joy.” It is not certain if this refers to individual homes or to places where parties and celebrations were held.

6 sn This same phrase is used in 22:2.
