[45:25]  ¹ tn Heb “In the Lord all the offspring of Israel will be vindicated and boast.”

[26:4]  ² tn Or “forevermore.” For other uses of the phrase עֲדֵי־עַד (’ade-’ad) see Isa 65:18 and Pss 83:17; 92:7.

[26:4]  ³ tc The Hebrew text has “for in Yah, the Lord, an everlasting rock.” Some have suggested that the phrase בְּיָהּ (beyah, “in Yah”) is the result of dittography. A scribe seeing כִּי יְהוָה (ki yÿhvah) in his original text would somehow have confused the letters and accidentally inserted בְּיָהּ between the words (bet and kaf [ב and כ] can be confused in later script phases). A number of English versions retain both divine names for emphasis (ESV, NIV, NKJV, NRSV, NLT). One of the Qumran texts (1QIsa^a) confirms the MT reading as well.

[29:19]  ⁴ tn Or “will rejoice” (NIV, NCV, NLT).

[29:19]  ⁵ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

[45:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “Israel will be delivered by the Lord [with] a permanent deliverance.”

[45:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “you will not be ashamed and you will not be humiliated for ages of future time.”

[45:24]  ⁸ tn Heb “‘Yes, in the Lord,’ one says about me, ‘is deliverance and strength.’”

[45:24]  ⁹ tn Heb “will come to him and be ashamed.”

[59:13]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “speaking.” A new sentence was started here in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[59:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.”

[61:10]  ¹² sn The speaker in vv. 10-11 is not identified, but it is likely that the personified nation (or perhaps Zion) responds here to the Lord’s promise of restoration.

[61:10]  ¹³ tn The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis.

[61:10]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “my being is happy in my God”; NAB “in my God is the joy of my soul.”

[61:10]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “robe of vindication”; KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV “robe of righteousness.”

[61:10]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “like a bridegroom [who] acts like a priest [by wearing] a turban, and like a bride [who] wears her jewelry.” The words “I look” are supplied for stylistic reasons and clarification.
