[30:14]  ¹ tn Heb “heart.”

[1:8]  ² tn Heb “mouth.”

[1:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “be careful to do.”

[1:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “you will make your way prosperous.”

[1:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “and be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.

[59:21]  sn The Lord promises the repentant (note “to them”) that they and their offspring will possess his spirit and function as his spokesmen. In this regard they follow in the footsteps of the Lord’s special servant. See 42:1; 49:2; 51:16.

[59:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “from now and on into the future.”
