TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:5–4:1 Isaiah condemned Israel’s and Judah’s arrogance and self-exaltation, warning them that only God was to be exalted. All attempts by humans to lift themselves up will actually result in humiliation.

2:5-22 The prophet threatened judgment and scoffed at human pride. All human structures (religious, economic, military, social) will come under divine scrutiny and be found deficient on the day of the Lord—that final day in history when God will judge the wicked once and for all (1 Cor 1:8; 1 Thes 5:2; 2 Thes 2:2; 2 Pet 3:10; Rev 20:7-15). At times, the prophets also used the expression “the day of the Lord” (or others like it, such as “that day”) to refer to special instances of God’s judgment upon wickedness during the course of history (see Isa 13:6, 9; Ezek 13:5; 30:3; Obad 1:15). On the day of the Lord, God alone will be exalted, while all human wickedness and pride will be struck down. The glorious day of God’s coming will fill wicked and arrogant humans with terror (Isa 2:10, 19, 21).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

General Information:

In 2:5 Isaiah speaks to the people of Judah, and in 2:6 he speaks to Yahweh. Both times he speaks in the form of a poem.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) House of Jacob

(Some words not found in UHB: house_of Yaakob come and,walk in/on/at/with,light YHWH )

“You descendants of Jacob.” The word “house” is a metonym for the people who live in the house, the family. Here “Jacob” represents the nation of Judah, but it would be best to use “Jacob” here.

(Occurrence 0) come

(Some words not found in UHB: house_of Yaakob come and,walk in/on/at/with,light YHWH )

a gentle encouragement to do what the speaker is about to tell the hearer to do

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) let us walk in the light of Yahweh

(Some words not found in UHB: house_of Yaakob come and,walk in/on/at/with,light YHWH )

Isaiah speaks of people learning and then doing what Yahweh wants them to do as if they were walking at night with a lamp that Yahweh has provided so they can see the path. Alternate translation: “let us learn how Yahweh wants us to live and then live that way”
