Yesaya 49:24-25

49:24 Can spoils be taken from a warrior,

or captives be rescued from a conqueror? ¹ 

49:25 Indeed,” says the Lord,

“captives will be taken from a warrior;

spoils will be rescued from a conqueror.

I will oppose your adversary

and I will rescue your children.

Yesaya 54:17

54:17 No weapon forged to be used against you will succeed;

you will refute everyone who tries to accuse you. ² 

This is what the Lord will do for his servants –

I will vindicate them,” ³ 

says the Lord.

[49:24]  ¹ tc The Hebrew text has צָדִיק (tsadiq, “a righteous [one]”), but this makes no sense in the parallelism. The Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a reads correctly עריץ (“violent [one], tyrant”; see v. 25).

[54:17]  ² tn Heb “and every tongue that rises up for judgment with you will prove to be guilty.”

[54:17]  ³ tn Heb “this is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and their vindication from me.”
