Isaiah 7:23-24

Context
7:23 At that time 1  every place where there had been a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels will be overrun 2  with thorns and briers. 7:24 With bow and arrow 3  men will hunt 4  there, for the whole land will be covered 5  with thorns and briers.

1 tn Heb “in that day.” The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

2 tn Heb “will become” (so NASB); NAB “shall be turned to.”

3 tn Heb “with arrows and a bow.” The more common English idiom is “bow[s] and arrow[s].”

4 tn Heb “go” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “go hunting.”

5 tn Heb “will be” (so NASB, NRSV).
