Ready, prepared, poised for action; treasures or stores (ketiv variant)
The adjective עָתִיד describes a state of readiness or preparedness — someone or something poised for imminent action. Job's wicked king is 'ready for the onset' (Job 15:24), the royal decree makes citizens 'ready for that day' (Esth 3:14; 8:13), and those 'skilled in rousing Leviathan' are described as 'ready' practitioners (Job 3:8). Moses' song warns that 'the things prepared are hastening' (Deut 32:35), shading toward impending fate. A single ketiv variant in Isa 10:13 reads the form as a noun meaning 'treasures' or 'stored wealth,' a reading supported by Hindi 'khazanon' and Swahili 'hazina' (treasures).
Senses
1. ready, prepared — In a state of readiness or preparedness, whether of persons poised for action or of events that are imminent. Arabic 'mustaiddeen' (ready/prepared) and Spanish 'preparados' (prepared) consistently confirm this sense across all five occurrences. Job 15:24 pictures the wicked as a king 'ready for battle,' Esth 3:14 and 8:13 describe subjects prepared for the appointed day, Job 3:8 identifies those 'ready' (i.e., skilled) to rouse Leviathan, and Deut 32:35 warns of 'prepared things' that hasten toward fulfillment. 5×

2. treasures, stores (ketiv variant) — A ketiv (written text) variant in Isa 10:13 where the form appears to mean 'treasures' or 'stored wealth' rather than 'readiness.' The qere reading normalizes it to a different vocalization to distinguish it from the adjective. Hindi 'khazanon' (treasures) and Swahili 'hazina zao' (their treasures) clearly attest a possession/wealth sense. The Assyrian conqueror boasts: 'I have plundered their stores,' connecting the idea of things 'prepared' or 'laid up' to accumulated riches. 1×
