“He Filled Zion with Justice and Righteousness” 497 by punishing Jerusalem God will restore the earlier order (93). Isa 1,27 seems to be based on 5,16, but it also goes beyond it in that 5,16 is not about the redemption of the city. As it was argued above, 33,5 also has strong connections to 5,16 and maintains that this prediction regarding the elevation of YHWH (hbg) in justice and righteousness is now fulfilled. Thus both 1,27 and 33,5 go back to 5,16, but the idea of the redemption of Jerusalem is more emphatic in 1,27 than in 33,5, questioning that the latter would be actually based on 1,27. In Isa 5,15-16, the exaltation of YHWH is connected with the humiliation of Judah, with special emphasis on its leaders. Isa 5,15-16 is also referred to by 2,5-22, another important text for 33,2-3+5+7-12. The central theme of 2,5-22 is the exaltation of YHWH alone and the punishment of the haughty nation (94). The weeping military leaders in 33,7 may be an example of this humiliation. In this context, it is even arguable that the geographical metaphors of 33,9 refer to 2,13-14 (95). Isa 33,7-9 seems to restate that 2,5-22 was fulfilled. It is often noted that the unusual μlara in 33,7 hints at layra in 29,1, the Isaianic prophecy against Jerusalem in which the theme of humiliation of the proud ancient city also plays a prominent role (96). In this connection the phonetic similarity between hxj wq[x μlara (33,7) and layral ytwqyxhw (29,2) is also noteworthy (97). The imagery of hay and straw in v. 11 has a significant parallel in Isa 5,24, the context from which 5,16 was also taken up in 33,5. In this earlier text Israel is compared to vvj and vq, who will be consumed (lka) by the enemy (98). The metaphor of ≈wq appears only in Isa 32,13, but its synonyms, rymv and tyv belong to the most favourite motifs of the book, mostly as symbols for the judgment on Judah or Israel (5,6; (93) Isa 1,25 implies punishment and hbyvaw in 1,26 alludes to restoration. (94) Cf. bgcn (as in 33,5); twhbg yny[, hag, μr / μwr, acn (2,11.12; cf. 5,15-16). (95) For Lebanon and Carmel, cf. also 10,34; 29,17; 35,2. See also Isa 24,4-12, which appears to be a later allusion to 33,7-9 (cf. 33,1 | 24,16; 33,7 | 24,11; 33,8 | 24,12; 33,9 | 24,4.7; 33,17.22 | 24,23). (96) See lpv in 29,4 with 2,9.11.12.17; 5,15; 10,33; 32,19. (97) Note also hlkwa va in 29,6, although this probably refers here to the destruction of Jerusalem (1,7; 5,24; 9,18; 10,16.17; cf. also 28,2) and not the enemy (26,11; 30,27.30.33). dqeP;Ti, whether a sg. 3 fem., or a sg. 2 masc., has no other antecedent in the previous verse. See also rwx (29,3; cf. 33,2), ˆwmh (29,5; 33,3), and lwq (29,6; 33,3). The diachronic aspect of the relationship between Isa 33 and the later expansion of 29,1-8 is not entirely clear. KUSTÁR (Krankheit, 103) assigns 29,5-7 and Isa 33 (with 30,27-33) to the same author. (98) vvj appears only here. Cf. 5,24 (hwhy trwt ta wsam) with 33,8 (μyd[ sam).
