Isaiah 11:13

The parallelism seems to demand that the adversaries of Judahbe explained as gen. of the subject (those in Judah that are adversaries to Ephraim). This is not very natural, but it is certainly better than to take envy of Ephraimas gen. of obj. (envy felt by Judah towards Ephraim).

shall not vex shall not oppress. It is the verb of which "adversaries" is the participle. The ascription of "oppression" to Judah and "envy" to Ephraim is hardly consistent with the relative importance of the two states previous to 722. At the same time there seems to be here a clear allusion to ch. Isaiah 9:9-12; Isaiah 9:20.
