The Prophetical Books.
The revision adheres to the a. v. in the
prose form, except in those cases where
The poetic form and spirit plainly contrast
with that which precedes and follows, 6. g.
he Irayer of Sonah and the sublime ode IN
the "a chapter of Habakkuk, and the whole
of ,ae Lamentations Of jeremiah, which are
evidently Of lyrical character. The d'yl'
sion into paragraphs is suggested either by
he short titles given the text, as in Isaiah
xxi. IL, IS, where The burden OF Dumah
and "The burden upon Arabs" obviously
imply the transition to new theme, or By
The Internal structure to other parts
whore the prophet passes from one subject
TO another. The christology Of the
o. T. is scarcely changed. The crucial
passsge Isaiah vii. IA, Behold a virgin
shall conceive and bear son, remains
changed, except that the margin suggests;
the Virgin is with child and beareth:
Isaih xl. 1, The voice of him that crieth in
The wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the
Lord" is changed to read, The voice OF
one that crieth, prepare We in the wilder
ness the way of the Lord" tx. 5, every
battle of the warrior is with confused noise
and garments rolled in blood; but this shall
he with burning and fuel of fire" is changed
for the better, For all the armor of the
armed man in the tumult, and the garments
rolled in blood, shall be for burning, for
thefuel of fire." In the SD chap. the revision
removes the confusion of lenses in vs., 2, 3,
as He shall grow up" when we shall see
him." HE is despised and rejected" The
correction Of these makes the description
more correct and impressive, as one contin-
uous picture oflowliness and rejection. In
V. 8, instead of I'VE hid as it were our faces
from Him." there is the exacter rendering,
AS one from whom men hide their faces,
He was Iespised." etc, The difficult Sth
verse, "He was taken from prison and from
Judgment; and who shall declare his gener-
alton" is made palmer by rendering, by
oppression and judgment He was taken
away; and who considereth His generation
In liv. s, I'm little wrath / hid my face
from thee becomes ",1n overlooking
wrath hid my face" etc, thus
making stronger contrast with
the kindness mentioned in the next clause,
Ia u the promise to Zion is not Windows
of agate, but 'pinnacles of rubies. In
wi, 10, l. the comparison Of IsraeIs rulers
to dumb, indolent, greedy dogs, and to faith
less shepherds is brought out much more
clearly than in the A. V. The indignant
question of Jehovah at offerings made to
idols (lvii, g., Should | receive comfort in
these?" is much better expressed by Shall
l he appeased for these things? who is
this that cometh from EdOm, with dyei gar
ments from Bozrah," etc, is greatly helped
by representing the conquerer as march
ing" rather than travelling" in the great
ness of his strength, and by more vigorous
rendering of the last clause Of v 6, bat es-
pecially by preserving the preterite lenses
