Yesaya 52:5

52:5 And now, what do we have here?” ¹  says the Lord.

“Indeed my people have been carried away for nothing,

those who rule over them taunt,” ²  says the Lord,

“and my name is constantly slandered ³  all day long.

Yesaya 65:14

65:14 Look, my servants will shout for joy as happiness fills their hearts! ⁴ 

But you will cry out as sorrow fills your hearts; ⁵ 

you will wail because your spirits will be crushed. ⁶ 

[52:5]  ¹ tn Heb “and now what [following the marginal reading (Qere)] to me here?”

[52:5]  ² tn The verb appears to be a Hiphil form from the root יָלַל (yalal, “howl”), perhaps here in the sense of “mock.” Some emend the form to יְהוֹלָּלוֹ (yÿhollalo) and understand a Polel form of the root הָלַל meaning here “mock, taunt.”

[52:5]  ³ tn The verb is apparently a Hitpolal form (with assimilated tav, ת) from the root נָאַץ (na’ats), but GKC 151-52 §55.b explains it as a mixed form, combining Pual and Hitpolel readings.

[65:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “from the good of the heart.”

[65:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “from the pain of the heart.”

[65:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “from the breaking of the spirit.”
