‏ Isaiah 25:2

Verse 2. A city-"The city"] Nineveh, Babylon, Ar, Moab, or any other strong fortress possessed by the enemies of the people of God.

For the first meir, of a city, the Syriac and Vulgate read hair, the city; the Septuagint and Chaldee read arim, cities, in the plural, transposing the letters. After the second meir, a MS. adds lagol, for a heap.

A palace of strangers-"The palace of the proud ones"] For zarim, strangers, MS. Bodl. and another read zedim, the proud: so likewise the Septuagint; for they render it ασεβων here, and in Isa 25:5, as they do in some other places: see De 18:20, 22. Another MS. reads tsarim, adversaries; which also makes a good sense. But zarim, strangers, and zedim, the proud, are often confounded by the great similitude of the letters daleth and resh. See Mal 3:15; 4:1; Ps 19:14, in the Septuagint; and Ps 54:5, where the Chaldee reads zedim, compared with Ps 86:16.
