Konteks

65:18 But be happy and rejoice forevermore

over what I am about to create!

For look, I am ready to create Jerusalem⁵ to be a source of joy,⁶

and her people to be a source of happiness.⁷

[41:20] ¹tn The words “I will do this” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The Hebrew text has here simply, “in order that.”

[41:20] ²tn Heb “they”; NAB, NRSV “that all may see”; CEV, NLT “Everyone will see.”

[41:20] ³tn Heb “hand” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[41:20] ⁴tn Or “created it” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “has made it happen.”

[65:18] ⁶tn Heb “Jerusalem, joy.” The next verse suggests the meaning: The Lord will create Jerusalem to be a source of joy to himself.

[65:18] ⁷tn Heb “her people, happiness.” See the preceding note.
