Yesaya 22:14

22:14 The Lord who commands armies told me this: ¹  “Certainly this sin will not be forgiven as long as you live,” ²  says the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies.

Yesaya 42:3

42:3 A crushed reed he will not break,

a dim wick he will not extinguish; ³ 

he will faithfully make just decrees. ⁴ 

[22:14]  ¹ tn Heb “it was revealed in my ears [by?] the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts].”

[22:14]  ² tn Heb “Certainly this sin will not be atoned for until you die.” This does not imply that their death will bring atonement; rather it emphasizes that their sin is unpardonable. The statement has the form of an oath.

[42:3]  ³ sn The “crushed reed” and “dim wick” symbolize the weak and oppressed who are on the verge of extinction.

[42:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “faithfully he will bring out justice” (cf. NASB, NRSV).
