Yesaya 11:11

11:11 At that time ¹  the sovereign master ²  will again lift his hand ³  to reclaim ⁴  the remnant of his people ⁵  from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, ⁶  Cush, ⁷  Elam, Shinar, ⁸  Hamath, and the seacoasts. ⁹ 

Yesaya 19:21

19:21 The Lord will reveal himself to the Egyptians, and they ¹⁰  will acknowledge the Lord’s authority ¹¹  at that time. ¹²  They will present sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the Lord and fulfill them.

Yesaya 20:4

20:4 so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, both young and old. They will be in undergarments and barefoot, with the buttocks exposed; the Egyptians will be publicly humiliated. ¹³ 

Yesaya 30:6

30:6 This is a message ¹⁴  about the animals in the Negev:

Through a land of distress and danger,

inhabited by lionesses and roaring lions, ¹⁵ 

by snakes and darting adders, ¹⁶ 

they transport ¹⁷  their wealth on the backs of donkeys,

their riches on the humps of camels,

to a nation that cannot help them. ¹⁸ 

Yesaya 37:33

37:33 So this is what the Lord says about the king of Assyria:

‘He will not enter this city,

nor will he shoot an arrow here. ¹⁹ 

He will not attack it with his shielded warriors, ²⁰ 

nor will he build siege works against it.

Yesaya 42:16

42:16 I will lead the blind along an unfamiliar way; ²¹ 

I will guide them down paths they have never traveled. ²² 

I will turn the darkness in front of them into light,

and level out the rough ground. ²³ 

This is what I will do for them.

I will not abandon them.

Yesaya 46:13

46:13 I am bringing my deliverance near, it is not far away;

I am bringing my salvation near, ²⁴  it does not wait.

I will save Zion; ²⁵ 

I will adorn Israel with my splendor.” ²⁶ 

Yesaya 58:7

58:7 I want you ²⁷  to share your food with the hungry

and to provide shelter for homeless, oppressed people. ²⁸ 

When you see someone naked, clothe him!

Don’t turn your back on your own flesh and blood! ²⁹ 

Yesaya 61:1

The Lord Will Rejuvenate His People

61:1 The spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon me,

because the Lord has chosen ³⁰  me. ³¹ 

He has commissioned ³²  me to encourage ³³  the poor,

to help ³⁴  the brokenhearted,

to decree the release of captives,

and the freeing of prisoners,

[11:11]  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.

[11:11]  ² tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonai).

[11:11]  ³ tc The Hebrew text reads, “the sovereign master will again, a second time, his hand.” The auxiliary verb יוֹסִיף (yosif), which literally means “add,” needs a main verb to complete it. Consequently many emend שֵׁנִית (shenit, “a second time”) to an infinitive. Some propose the form שַׁנֹּת (shannot, a Piel infinitive construct from שָׁנָה, shanah) and relate it semantically to an Arabic cognate meaning “to be high.” If the Hebrew text is retained a verb must be supplied. “Second time” would allude back to the events of the Exodus (see vv. 15-16).

[11:11]  ⁴ tn Or “acquire”; KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV “recover.”

[11:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “the remnant of his people who remain.”

[11:11]  ⁶ sn Perhaps a reference to Upper (i.e., southern) Egypt (so NIV, NLT; NCV “South Egypt”).

[11:11]  ⁷ tn Or “Ethiopia” (NAB, NRSV, NLT).

[11:11]  ⁸ tn Or “Babylonia” (NIV, NCV, TEV, NLT).

[11:11]  ⁹ tn Or perhaps, “the islands of the sea.”

[19:21]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Egypt.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, the present translation uses the pronoun (“they”) here.

[19:21]  ¹¹ tn Heb “will know the Lord.”

[19:21]  ¹² tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV), likewise at the beginning of vv. 23 and 24.

[20:4]  ¹³ tn Heb “lightly dressed and barefoot, and bare with respect to the buttocks, the nakedness of Egypt.”

[30:6]  ¹⁴ tn Traditionally, “burden” (so KJV, ASV); NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV “oracle.”

[30:6]  ¹⁵ tc Heb “[a land of] a lioness and a lion, from them.” Some emend מֵהֶם (mehem, “from them”) to מֵהֵם (mehem), an otherwise unattested Hiphil participle from הָמַם (hamam, “move noisily”). Perhaps it would be better to take the initial mem (מ) as enclitic and emend the form to הֹמֶה (homeh), a Qal active participle from הָמָה (hamah, “to make a noise”); cf. J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:542, n. 9.

[30:6]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “flying fiery one.” See the note at 14:29.

[30:6]  ¹⁷ tn Or “carry” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[30:6]  ¹⁸ sn This verse describes messengers from Judah transporting wealth to Egypt in order to buy Pharaoh’s protection through a treaty.

[37:33]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “there” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV). In terms of English style “here” is expected in collocation with “this” in the previous line.

[37:33]  ²⁰ tn Heb “[with] a shield” (so ASV, NASB, NRSV).

[42:16]  ²¹ tn Heb “a way they do not know” (so NASB); NRSV “a road they do not know.”

[42:16]  ²² tn Heb “in paths they do not know I will make them walk.”

[42:16]  ²³ tn Heb “and the rough ground into a level place.”

[46:13]  ²⁴ tn Heb “my salvation.” The verb “I am bringing near” is understood by ellipsis (note the previous line).

[46:13]  ²⁵ tn Heb “I will place in Zion salvation”; NASB “I will grant salvation in Zion.”

[46:13]  ²⁶ tn Heb “to Israel my splendor”; KJV, ASV “for Israel my glory.”

[58:7]  ²⁷ tn Heb “Is it not?” The rhetorical question here expects a positive answer, “It is!”

[58:7]  ²⁸ tn Heb “and afflicted [ones], homeless [ones] you should bring [into] a house.” On the meaning of מְרוּדִים (mÿrudim, “homeless”) see HALOT 633 s.v. *מָרוּד.

[58:7]  ²⁹ tn Heb “and from your flesh do not hide yourself.”

[61:1]  ³⁰ tn Heb “anointed,” i.e., designated to carry out an assigned task.

[61:1]  ³¹ sn The speaker is not identified, but he is distinct from the Lord and from Zion’s suffering people. He possesses the divine spirit, is God’s spokesman, and is sent to release prisoners from bondage. The evidence suggests he is the Lord’s special servant, described earlier in the servant songs (see 42:1-4, 7; 49:2, 9; 50:4; see also 51:16).

[61:1]  ³² tn Or “sent” (NAB); NCV “has appointed me.”

[61:1]  ³³ tn Or “proclaim good news to.”

[61:1]  ³⁴ tn Heb “to bind up [the wounds of].”
