Yesaya 62:8

62:8 The Lord swears an oath by his right hand,

by his strong arm: ¹ 

“I will never again give your grain

to your enemies as food,

and foreigners will not drink your wine,

which you worked hard to produce.

Yesaya 65:22

65:22 No longer will they build a house only to have another live in it, ² 

or plant a vineyard only to have another eat its fruit, ³ 

for my people will live as long as trees, ⁴ 

and my chosen ones will enjoy to the fullest what they have produced. ⁵ 

[62:8]  ¹ tn The Lord’s right hand and strong arm here symbolize his power and remind the audience that his might guarantees the fulfillment of the following promise.

[65:22]  ² tn Heb “they will not build, and another live [in it].”

[65:22]  ³ tn Heb “they will not plant, and another eat.”

[65:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “for like the days of the tree [will be] the days of my people.”

[65:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “the work of their hands” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); NLT “their hard-won gains.”
