I hate to say this, but if these are marked as subjunctives in any computer
program, there is something wrong with the program.
Isaiah 7:9 LXX KAI EAN MH PISTEUSHTE, OUDE MH SUNHTE (I'd say we have
aorist subjunctives in both clauses here, from PISTEUW and SUNIHMI
respectively)
Isaiah 10:12 LXX KAI ESTAI hOTAN SUNTELESHi KURIOS PANTA POIWN EN TWi OREI
SIWN KAI EN IEROUSALHM, EPAXEI EPI TON NOUN TON MEGAN, TON ARCONTA TWN
ASSURIWN, KAI EPI TO hUYOS THS DOXHS TWN OFQALMWN AUTOU. Here SUNTELESHi
must be an aorist subjunctive. I've yet to see an imperfect subjunctive or
a future subjunctive anywhere in Greek, and I'm very skeptical if such will
be found that doesn't prove to be an error of some sort.
