Isaiah 17:13
Isaiah 29:5
Verse 5. The multitude of thy strangers-"The multitude of the proud"] For zarayich, thy strangers, read zedim, the proud, according to the Septuagint; parallel to and synonymous with aritsim, the terrible, in the next line: the resh was at first daleth in a MS. See Clarke on Isa 25:2. The fifth, sixth, and seventh verses contain an admirable description of the destruction of Sennacherib's army, with a beautiful variety of the most expressive and sublime images: perhaps more adapted to show the greatness, the suddenness, and horror of the event, than the means and manner by which it was effected. Compare Isa 30:30-33.
