Yesaya 51:19

51:19 These double disasters confronted you.

But who feels sorry for you?

Destruction and devastation,

famine and sword.

But who consoles you? ¹ 

Yesaya 59:7

59:7 They are eager to do evil, ² 

quick to shed innocent blood. ³ 

Their thoughts are sinful;

they crush and destroy. ⁴ 

[51:19]  ¹ tc The Hebrew text has אֲנַחֲמֵךְ (’anakhamekh), a first person form, but the Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a reads correctly יִנַחֲמֵךְ (yinakhamekh), a third person form.

[59:7]  ² tn Heb “their feet run to evil.”

[59:7]  ³ tn Heb “they quickly pour out innocent blood.”

[59:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “their thoughts are thoughts of sin, destruction and crushing [are] in their roadways.”
