Yesaya 50:6

50:6 I offered my back to those who attacked, ¹ 

my jaws to those who tore out my beard;

I did not hide my face

from insults and spitting.

Yesaya 54:8

54:8 In a burst ²  of anger I rejected you ³  momentarily,

but with lasting devotion I will have compassion on you,”

says your protector, ⁴  the Lord.

[50:6]  ¹ tn Or perhaps, “who beat [me].”

[54:8]  ² tn According to BDB 1009 s.v. שֶׁטֶף the noun שֶׁצֶף here is an alternate form of שֶׁטֶף (shetef, “flood”). Some relate the word to an alleged Akkadian cognate meaning “strength.”

[54:8]  ³ tn Heb “I hid my face from you.”

[54:8]  ⁴ tn Or “redeemer.” See the note at 41:14.
