Yesaya 26:12

26:12 O Lord, you make us secure, ¹ 

for even all we have accomplished, you have done for us. ² 

Yesaya 43:5

43:5 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.

From the east I will bring your descendants;

from the west I will gather you.

[26:12]  ¹ tn Heb “O Lord, you establish peace for us.”

[26:12]  ² tc Some suggest emending גַּם כָּל (gam kol, “even all”) to כִּגְמֻל (kigmul, “according to the deed[s] of”) One might then translate “for according to what our deeds deserve, you have acted on our behalf.” Nevertheless, accepting the MT as it stands, the prophet affirms that Yahweh deserved all the credit for anything Israel had accomplished.
