Isa 42:10 | Clarke | e4.org | Verse 10. Ye that go down to the sea ] This seems not to belong to this place; it does not well consist with what follows, "and the fulness thereof." They that go down upon the sea means navigators, sailors, traders, such as do business in great waters; an idea much too confined for the prophet, who means the sea in general, as it is used by the Hebrews, for the distant nations, the islands, the dwellers on the sea-coasts all over the world. I suspect that some transcriber had the 23d verse of Psalm cvii. running in his head, yoredey haiyam booniyoth , and wrote in this place yoredey haiyam instead of yiram haiyam , or yari , or yaran ; "let the sea roar, or shout, or exult." But as this is so different in appearance from the present reading, I do not take the liberty of introducing it into the translation. Conjeceram legendum yegidu , ut ; sed non favent Versiones. "I would propose to read yegidu , as in ; but this is not supported by the Versions."

‏ Isaiah 42:10

Verse 10. Ye that go down to the sea] This seems not to belong to this place; it does not well consist with what follows, "and the fulness thereof." They that go down upon the sea means navigators, sailors, traders, such as do business in great waters; an idea much too confined for the prophet, who means the sea in general, as it is used by the Hebrews, for the distant nations, the islands, the dwellers on the sea-coasts all over the world. I suspect that some transcriber had the 23d verse of Psalm cvii. Ps 107:23 running in his head, yoredey haiyam booniyoth, and wrote in this place yoredey haiyam instead of yiram haiyam, or yari, or yaran; "let the sea roar, or shout, or exult." But as this is so different in appearance from the present reading, I do not take the liberty of introducing it into the translation. Conjeceram legendum yegidu, ut Isa 42:12; sed non favent Versiones. "I would propose to read yegidu, as in Isa 42:12; but this is not supported by the Versions."
