Yesaya 1:19

1:19 If you have a willing attitude and obey, ¹ 

then you will again eat the good crops of the land.

Yesaya 23:8

23:8 Who planned this for royal Tyre, ² 

whose merchants are princes,

whose traders are the dignitaries ³  of the earth?

Yesaya 37:11

37:11 Certainly you have heard how the kings of Assyria have annihilated all lands. ⁴  Do you really think you will be rescued? ⁵ 

Yesaya 43:25

43:25 I, I am the one who blots out your rebellious deeds for my sake;

your sins I do not remember.

Yesaya 64:12

64:12 In light of all this, ⁶  how can you still hold back, Lord?

How can you be silent and continue to humiliate us?

[1:19]  ¹ tn Heb “listen”; KJV “obedient”; NASB “If you consent and obey.”

[23:8]  ² tn The precise meaning of הַמַּעֲטִירָה (hamma’atirah) is uncertain. The form is a Hiphil participle from עָטַר (’atar), a denominative verb derived from עֲטָרָה (’atarah, “crown, wreath”). The participle may mean “one who wears a crown” or “one who distributes crowns.” In either case, Tyre’s prominence in the international political arena is in view.

[23:8]  ³ tn Heb “the honored” (so NASB, NRSV); NIV “renowned.”

[37:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, annihilating them.”

[37:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “and will you be rescued?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “No, of course not!”

[64:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “because of these”; KJV, ASV “for these things.”
