Abstract
Abstract This study explores the use of verbal irony in three case studies across the Septuagint Prophets: Amos 4:4–5, Isa 47:12–13, and Ezek 28:3–5. In the MT, all three of these passages make use of verbal irony to express criticism. The prophets’ critiques remain in the LXX versions, but do not contain verbal irony in some cases. This paper aims to discern how each translator has approached rendering the verbal irony of the Hebrew parent text by describing the observable results of the translation process on linguistic and rhetorical levels.
