Yesaya 46:12

46:12 Listen to me, you stubborn people, ¹ 

you who distance yourself from doing what is right. ² 

Yesaya 48:1

The Lord Appeals to the Exiles

48:1 Listen to this, O family of Jacob, ³ 

you who are called by the name ‘Israel,’

and are descended from Judah, ⁴ 

who take oaths in the name of the Lord,

and invoke ⁵  the God of Israel –

but not in an honest and just manner. ⁶ 

[46:12]  ¹ tn Heb “strong of heart [or, mind]”; KJV “stouthearted”; NAB “fainthearted”; NIV “stubborn-hearted.”

[46:12]  ² tn Heb “who are far from righteousness [or perhaps, “deliverance”].”

[48:1]  ³ tn Heb “house of Jacob”; TEV, CEV “people of Israel.”

[48:1]  ⁴ tc The Hebrew text reads literally “and from the waters of Judah came out.” מִמֵּי (mimme) could be a corruption of מִמְּעֵי (mimmÿ’e, “from the inner parts of”; cf. NASB, NIV, NLT, NRSV) as suggested in the above translation. Some translations (ESV, NKJV) retain the MT reading because the Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a, which corrects a similar form to “from inner parts of” in 39:7, does not do it here.

[48:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “cause to remember”; KJV, ASV “make mention of.”

[48:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “not in truth and not in righteousness.”
