all you who live in the earth’s remote regions!

For I am God, and I have no peer.

[3:8]  ¹ tn Heb “for their tongue and their deeds [are] to the Lord.”

[3:8]  ² tn Heb “to rebel [against] the eyes of his majesty.” The word כָּבוֹד (kavod) frequently refers to the Lord’s royal splendor that is an outward manifestation of his authority as king.

[43:22]  ³ tn Or “strive”; KJV, ASV, NRSV “been weary of me.”

[45:22]  ⁴ tn The Niphal imperative with prefixed vav (ו) indicates purpose after the preceding imperative. The Niphal probably has a tolerative sense, “allow yourselves to be delivered, accept help.”

[54:8]  ⁵ tn According to BDB 1009 s.v. שֶׁטֶף the noun שֶׁצֶף here is an alternate form of שֶׁטֶף (shetef, “flood”). Some relate the word to an alleged Akkadian cognate meaning “strength.”

[54:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “I hid my face from you.”

[54:8]  ⁷ tn Or “redeemer.” See the note at 41:14.
