Yesaya 12:6
Konteks12:6 Cry out and shout for joy, O citizens of Zion,
for the Holy One of Israel 1 acts mightily 2 among you!”
Yesaya 52:7
Konteks52:7 How delightful it is to see approaching over the mountains 3
the feet of a messenger who announces peace,
a messenger who brings good news, who announces deliverance,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” 4
[12:6] 1 sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.
[12:6] 2 tn Or “is great” (TEV). However, the context emphasizes his mighty acts of deliverance (cf. NCV), not some general or vague character quality.
[52:7] 3 tn Heb “How delightful on the mountains.”
[52:7] 4 tn Or “has become king.” When a new king was enthroned, his followers would give this shout. For other examples of this enthronement formula (Qal perfect 3rd person masculine singular מָלַךְ [malakh], followed by the name of the king), see 2 Sam 15:10; 1 Kgs 1:11, 13, 18; 2 Kgs 9:13. The Lord is an eternal king, but here he is pictured as a victorious warrior who establishes his rule from Zion.
