Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) they are filled with customs from the east

Isaiah speaks as if the people were containers who were full of something from the east. Possible meanings are that he speaks of: (1) the deeds that the eastern peoples do. Alternate translation: “they do all the time the evil things the people who live in lands east of Israel do” or (2) people, specifically those who claim to speak to dead people, who have come from the east to do evil deeds. Alternate translation: “many diviners have come from the east and now live there” (See also: figs-explicit)

(Occurrence 0) they practice divination

they try to tell the future by looking at things like animal parts and leaves

Note 3 topic: translate-symaction

(Occurrence 0) they shake hands with sons of foreigners

Clasping hands together is the symbol of friendship and peace. Alternate translation: “they make peace and work together with people who are not from Israel”
