Yesaya 29:23

29:23 For when they see their children,

whom I will produce among them, ¹ 

they will honor ²  my name.

They will honor the Holy One of Jacob; ³ 

they will respect ⁴  the God of Israel.

Yesaya 35:2

35:2 Let it richly bloom; ⁵ 

let it rejoice and shout with delight! ⁶ 

It is given the grandeur ⁷  of Lebanon,

the splendor of Carmel and Sharon.

They will see the grandeur of the Lord,

the splendor of our God.

Yesaya 63:7

A Prayer for Divine Intervention

63:7 I will tell of the faithful acts of the Lord,

of the Lord’s praiseworthy deeds.

I will tell about all ⁸  the Lord did for us,

the many good things he did for the family of Israel, ⁹ 

because of ¹⁰  his compassion and great faithfulness.

Yesaya 64:5

64:5 You assist ¹¹  those who delight in doing what is right, ¹² 

who observe your commandments. ¹³ 

Look, you were angry because we violated them continually.

How then can we be saved? ¹⁴ 

Yesaya 66:14

66:14 When you see this, you will be happy, ¹⁵ 

and you will be revived. ¹⁶ 

The Lord will reveal his power to his servants

and his anger to his enemies. ¹⁷ 

[29:23]  ¹ tn Heb “for when he sees his children, the work of my hands in his midst.”

[29:23]  ² tn Or “treat as holy” (also in the following line); NASB, NRSV “will sanctify.”

[29:23]  ³ sn Holy One of Jacob is similar to the phrase “Holy One of Israel” common throughout Isaiah; see the sn at Isa 1:4.

[29:23]  ⁴ tn Or “fear,” in the sense of “stand in awe of.”

[35:2]  ⁵ tn The ambiguous verb form תִּפְרַח (tifrakh) is translated as a jussive because it is parallel to the jussive form תָגֵל (tagel).

[35:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “and let it rejoice, yes [with] rejoicing and shouting.” גִּילַת (gilat) may be an archaic feminine nominal form (see GKC 421 §130.b).

[35:2]  ⁷ tn Or “glory” (KJV, NIV, NRSV); also a second time later in this verse.

[63:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “according to all which.”

[63:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “greatness of goodness to the house of Israel which he did for them.”

[63:7]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “according to.”

[64:5]  ¹¹ tn Heb “meet [with kindness].”

[64:5]  ¹² tn Heb “the one who rejoices and does righteousness.”

[64:5]  ¹³ tn Heb “in your ways they remember you.”

[64:5]  ¹⁴ tc The Hebrew text reads literally, “look, you were angry and we sinned against them continually [or perhaps, “in ancient times”] and we were delivered.” The statement makes little sense as it stands. The first vav [ו] consecutive (“and we sinned”) must introduce an explanatory clause here (see Num 1:48 and Isa 39:1 for other examples of this relatively rare use of the vav [ו] consecutive). The final verb (if rendered positively) makes no sense in this context – God’s anger at their sin resulted in judgment, not deliverance. One of the alternatives involves an emendation to וַנִּרְשָׁע (vannirsha’, “and we were evil”; LXX, NRSV, TEV). The Vulgate and the Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a support the MT reading. One can either accept an emendation or cast the statement as a question (as above).

[66:14]  ¹⁵ tn “and you will see and your heart will be happy.”

[66:14]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and your bones like grass will sprout.”

[66:14]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants, and anger to his enemies.”
