Isaiah 31:7

Compare all

5 ^aLike birds flying about,
So will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem.
Defending, He will also deliver it;
Passing over, He will preserve it.”

6 Return to Him against whom the children of Israel have ^adeeply revolted.

7 For in that day every man shall ^athrow away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—^bsin, which your own hands have made for yourselves.

8 “Then Assyria shall ^afall by a sword not of man,
And a sword not of mankind shall ^bdevour him.
But he shall flee from the sword,
And his young men shall become forced labor.

9 ^aHe shall cross over to his stronghold for fear,
And his princes shall be afraid of the banner,”
Says the Lord,
Whose fire is in Zion
And whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

Isaiah 31:7

Which your own hands have made unto you for a sin "The sin, which their own hands have made" - The construction of the word chet , sin , in this place is not easy. The Septuagint have omitted it: MSS. Pachom. and 1. D. 2 and Cod. Marchal. in margine , supply the omission by the word ̔ , sin, or ̔ , said to be from Aquila' s Version, which I have followed. The learned Professor Schroeder, Institut. Ling. Hebrews p. 298, makes it to be in regimine with yedeychem , as an epithet, your sinful hands. The Septuagint render the pronoun in the third person, ̔ , their hands; and an ancient MS. has, agreeable to that rendering, lahem , to them, for lachem , to you; which word they have likewise omitted, as not necessary to complete the sense.
