2 Raja-raja 9:18

9:18 So the horseman ¹  went to meet him and said, “This is what the king says, ‘Is everything all right?’” ²  Jehu replied, “None of your business! ³  Follow me.” The watchman reported, “The messenger reached them, but hasn’t started back.”

Yesaya 57:19-21

57:19 I am the one who gives them reason to celebrate. ⁴ 

Complete prosperity ⁵  is available both to those who are far away and those who are nearby,”

says the Lord, “and I will heal them.

57:20 But the wicked are like a surging sea

that is unable to be quiet;

its waves toss up mud and sand.

57:21 There will be no prosperity,” says my God, “for the wicked.”

[9:18]  ¹ tn Heb “the rider of the horse.”

[9:18]  ² tn Heb “Is there peace?”

[9:18]  ³ tn Heb “What concerning you and concerning peace?” That is, “What concern is that to you?”

[57:19]  ⁴ tc The Hebrew text has literally, “one who creates fruit of lips.” Perhaps the pronoun אֲנִי (’ani) should be inserted after the participle; it may have been accidentally omitted by haplography: נוּב שְׂפָתָיִם[אֲנִי] בּוֹרֵא (bore’ [’ani] nuv sÿfatayim). “Fruit of the lips” is often understood as a metonymy for praise; perhaps it refers more generally to joyful shouts (see v. 18).

[57:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “Peace, peace.” The repetition of the noun emphasizes degree.
