Abstract
Continuing to publish the translation of the Book of Isaiah according to the Septuagint, we offer to the reader’s attention chapters 26 through 33. These chapters include the end of the “Apocalypse of Isaiah”, followed by a continuation of the prophecies about the fate of Israel. The reader has the opportunity to find out where to hide from the wrath and where the Rhinocorurs were located, how punishing differs from teaching a lesson, how to shake off black cummin and how to fight with a flute and lyre in one’s hands. The following passage contains the first explicit biblical prophecy about the resurrection. And what about our interpretation, this time we managed to involve painting in it.
