Yesaya 61:5

61:5 ¹ “Foreigners will take care of ²  your sheep;

foreigners will work in your fields and vineyards.

Yesaya 66:6

66:6 The sound of battle comes from the city;

the sound comes from the temple!

It is the sound of the Lord paying back his enemies.

[61:5]  ¹ sn The Lord speaks in vv. 7-8 (and possibly v. 9). It is not clear where the servant’s speech (see vv. 1-3a) ends and the Lord’s begins. Perhaps the direct address to the people signals the beginning of the Lord’s speech.

[61:5]  ² tn Heb “will stand [in position] and shepherd.”
