Isaiah 11 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Some translations set poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry. The ULB does this with the poetry in this chapter.
Special concepts in this chapter
Messiah
The prophecies of this chapter focus on the coming Messiah. Some of these prophecies concern the first coming of Jesus, while some reference a future day of restoration. The author transitions between these time periods without telling his reader. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/christ and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/restore)
Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
Ambiguity
It is uncertain what period of time these prophecies refer to or who will fulfill them. The translator should allow this uncertainty and ambiguity to remain. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/fulfill)
