Yesaya 26:10
Konteks26:10 If the wicked are shown mercy,
they do not learn about justice. 1
Even in a land where right is rewarded, they act unjustly; 2
they do not see the Lord’s majesty revealed.
Yesaya 42:3
Konteks42:3 A crushed reed he will not break,
a dim wick he will not extinguish; 3
he will faithfully make just decrees. 4
[26:10] 1 tn As in verse 9b, the translation understands צֶדֶק (tsedeq) in the sense of “justice,” but it is possible that it carries the nuance “righteousness,” in which case one might translate, “they do not learn to live in a righteous manner.”
[26:10] 2 tn Heb “in a land of uprightness they act unjustly”; NRSV “they deal perversely.”
[42:3] 3 sn The “crushed reed” and “dim wick” symbolize the weak and oppressed who are on the verge of extinction.
[42:3] 4 tn Heb “faithfully he will bring out justice” (cf. NASB, NRSV).
