Yesaya 30:30
Konteks30:30 The Lord will give a mighty shout 1
and intervene in power, 2
with furious anger and flaming, destructive fire, 3
with a driving rainstorm and hailstones.
Yesaya 44:23
Konteks44:23 Shout for joy, O sky, for the Lord intervenes; 4
shout out, you subterranean regions 5 of the earth.
O mountains, give a joyful shout;
you too, O forest and all your trees! 6
For the Lord protects 7 Jacob;
he reveals his splendor through Israel. 8
Yesaya 61:3
Konteks61:3 to strengthen those who mourn in Zion,
by giving them a turban, instead of ashes,

a garment symbolizing praise, 10 instead of discouragement. 11
They will be called oaks of righteousness, 12
trees planted by the Lord to reveal his splendor. 13
[30:30] 1 tn Heb “the Lord will cause the splendor of his voice to be heard.”
[30:30] 2 tn Heb “and reveal the lowering of his arm.”
[30:30] 3 tn Heb “and a flame of consuming fire.”
[44:23] 4 tn Heb “acts”; NASB, NRSV “has done it”; NLT “has done this wondrous thing.”
[44:23] 5 tn Heb “lower regions.” This refers to Sheol and forms a merism with “sky” in the previous line. See Pss 63:9; 71:20.
[44:23] 6 tn Heb “O forest and all the trees in it”; NASB, NRSV “and every tree in it.”
[44:23] 7 tn Heb “redeems.” See the note at 41:14.
[44:23] 8 tn That is, by delivering Israel. Cf. NCV “showed his glory when he saved Israel”; TEV “has shown his greatness by saving his people Israel.”

See v. 2, which alludes to the fact that God will take vengeance against the enemies of his people. Cf. NAB “oaks of justice.”
[61:3] 13 tn Heb “a planting of the Lord to reveal splendor.”
