Isaiah 22:17

Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Behold, Jehovah, like a [strong] man, will hurl thee away violently; yea, he will wrap thee up closely." — Isaiah 22:17 (ASV)

The Lord will carry thee away with a mighty captivity. —Better, will hurl you with the hurling of a mighty mani.e., strongly and effectually. The words have, however, been rendered (Cheyne), “will hurl, will hurl you, O mighty man.” The marginal rendering rests on no sufficient grounds.

Will surely cover thee. —Better, Will surely grasp you, so that you will not escape.
