Yesaya 13:2

13:2 ¹ On a bare hill raise a signal flag,

shout to them,

wave your hand,

so they might enter the gates of the princes!

Yesaya 36:18

36:18 Hezekiah is misleading you when he says, “The Lord will rescue us.” Has any of the gods of the nations rescued his land from the power of the king of Assyria? ² 

Yesaya 41:20

41:20 I will do this so ³  people ⁴  will observe and recognize,

so they will pay attention and understand

that the Lord’s power ⁵  has accomplished this,

and that the Holy One of Israel has brought it into being.” ⁶ 

[13:2]  ¹ sn The Lord is speaking here (see v. 3).

[36:18]  ² tn Heb “Have the gods of the nations rescued, each his land, from the hand of the king of Assyria?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Of course not!”

[41:20]  ³ tn The words “I will do this” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The Hebrew text has here simply, “in order that.”

[41:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “they”; NAB, NRSV “that all may see”; CEV, NLT “Everyone will see.”

[41:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “hand” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[41:20]  ⁶ tn Or “created it” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “has made it happen.”
