Yesaya 37:22
Konteks37:22 this is what the Lord says about him: 1
“The virgin daughter Zion 2
despises you – she makes fun of you;
daughter Jerusalem
shakes her head after you. 3
Yesaya 62:11
Konteks62:11 Look, the Lord announces to the entire earth: 4
“Say to Daughter Zion,
‘Look, your deliverer comes!
Look, his reward is with him
and his reward goes before him!’” 5
[37:22] 1 tn Heb “this is the word which the Lord has spoken about him.”
[37:22] 2 sn Zion (Jerusalem) is pictured here as a young, vulnerable daughter whose purity is being threatened by the would-be Assyrian rapist. The personification hints at the reality which the young girls of the city would face if the Assyrians conquer it.
[37:22] 3 sn Shaking the head was a mocking gesture of derision.
[62:11] 4 tn Heb “to the end of the earth” (so NASB, NRSV).
[62:11] 5 sn As v. 12 indicates, the returning exiles are the Lord’s reward/prize. See also 40:10 and the note there.
