Yesaya 11:10

Israel is Reclaimed and Reunited

11:10 At that time ¹  a root from Jesse ²  will stand like a signal flag for the nations. Nations will look to him for guidance, ³  and his residence will be majestic.

Yesaya 25:5

25:5 like heat ⁴  in a dry land,

you humble the boasting foreigners. ⁵ 

Just as the shadow of a cloud causes the heat to subside, ⁶ 

so he causes the song of tyrants to cease. ⁷ 

Yesaya 62:1

The Lord Takes Delight in Zion

62:1 “For the sake of Zion I will not be silent;

for the sake of Jerusalem ⁸  I will not be quiet,

until her vindication shines brightly ⁹ 

and her deliverance burns like a torch.”

Yesaya 62:6

62:6 I ¹⁰  post watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;

they should keep praying all day and all night. ¹¹ 

You who pray to ¹²  the Lord, don’t be silent!

Yesaya 66:23

66:23 From one month ¹³  to the next and from one Sabbath to the next, all people ¹⁴  will come to worship me,” ¹⁵  says the Lord.

[11:10]  ¹ tn Or “in that day” (KJV). The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[11:10]  ² sn See the note at v. 1.

[11:10]  ³ tn Heb “ a root from Jesse, which stands for a signal flag of the nations, of him nations will inquire” [or “seek”].

[25:5]  ⁴ tn Or “drought” (TEV).

[25:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “the tumult of foreigners.”

[25:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “[like] heat in the shadow of a cloud.”

[25:5]  ⁷ tn The translation assumes that the verb יַעֲנֶה (ya’aneh) is a Hiphil imperfect from עָנָה (’anah, “be afflicted, humiliated”). In this context with “song” as object it means to “quiet” (see HALOT 853-54 s.v. II ענה). Some prefer to emend the form to the second person singular, so that it will agree with the second person verb earlier in the verse. BDB 776 s.v. III עָנָה Qal.1 understands the form as Qal, with “song” as subject, in which case one might translate “the song of tyrants will be silent.” An emendation of the form to a Niphal (יֵעָנֶה, ye’aneh) would yield the same translation.
