Context — The Consequences of Rebelliongenerated
Isaiah 1:31 describes the downfall of the strong man and his work, illustrating that even the mightiest will face destruction without divine intervention. This verse fits within a broader discourse on the consequences of turning away from God, as seen in the preceding verses where rebels and sinners are warned of their fate. The imagery of fire signifies judgment and the finality of their end, reinforcing the theme of accountability before God.

The Key Word — הֶחָסֹן֙, he.cha.Songenerated
The word חָסֹן (chason) is an adjective meaning 'strong' or 'powerful.' It describes a person with great strength, often likened to a mighty warrior. In this verse, it emphasizes the futility of strength when faced with divine judgment.
The parsing indicates that it functions as a noun in this context, specifically referring to a strong person. The use of this term sets the stage for the contrast between human strength and the consuming power of fire.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse is structured around two main clauses, both linked by the conjunction וְ, and. The first clause introduces the subjects, הֶחָסֹן֙ and פֹּעַל, while the second clause describes their fate.
The finite verbs הָיָ֤ה and בָעֲר֧וּ govern their respective subjects, establishing a clear cause-and-effect relationship. The use of יַחְדָּ֖ו emphasizes their unity in destruction.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates הֶחָסֹן֙ as ἡ (the), which simplifies the description but retains the sense of strength. This choice reflects a more general characterization rather than the specific might implied in the Hebrew.
The Greek word for מְכַבֶּֽה is not provided, but the context suggests a similar emphasis on extinguishing fire, aligning with the theme of inevitable destruction.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Isaiah 1:31 warns that the strong man will become like tinder, and his work will be a spark; both will burn together without anyone to put out the flames. This imagery illustrates the finality of judgment against those who oppose God.

This phrase indicates that even the strongest individuals will ultimately be reduced to something easily consumed by fire, symbolizing their vulnerability in the face of divine judgment.
The comparison to a spark emphasizes the fleeting nature of human accomplishments, which can be easily extinguished or destroyed.
This highlights the inevitability of destruction; there will be no one to intervene or save them from the consequences of their actions.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states, "The strong man will become tinder and his work will be a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the flames." The Dead Sea Scrolls (1Qisaa and 4Q60) closely align with the Masoretic Text, with minor variations in spelling and word forms but conveying the same overall meaning. The Septuagint does not provide a complete translation for comparison, but it shares some words with the Masoretic Text. Overall, the main witnesses agree on the essential message of the verse, highlighting the fate of the strong and their works in the context of judgment.
