Yesaya 51:11
Konteks51:11 Those whom the Lord has ransomed will return;
they will enter Zion with a happy shout.
Unending joy will crown them, 1
happiness and joy will overwhelm 2 them;
grief and suffering will disappear. 3
Yesaya 62:12
Konteks62:12 They will be called, “The Holy People,
the Ones Protected 4 by the Lord.”
You will be called, “Sought After,
City Not Abandoned.”
[51:11] 1 tn Heb “[will be] on their head[s].” “Joy” may be likened here to a crown (cf. 2 Sam 1:10). The statement may also be an ironic twist on the idiom “earth/dust on the head” (cf. 2 Sam 1:2; 13:19; 15:32; Job 2:12), referring to a mourning practice.
[51:11] 2 tn Heb “overtake” (so NIV); NASB “they will obtain.”
