Yesaya 32:3

32:3 Eyes ¹  will no longer be blind ² 

and ears ³  will be attentive.

Yesaya 41:5

41:5 The coastlands ⁴  see and are afraid;

the whole earth ⁵  trembles;

they approach and come.

[32:3]  ¹ tn Heb “Eyes that see.”

[32:3]  ² tn The Hebrew text as vocalized reads literally “will not gaze,” but this is contradictory to the context. The verb form should be revocalized as תְּשֹׁעֶינָה (tÿsho’enah) from שָׁעַע (sha’a’, “be blinded”); see Isa 6:10; 29:9.

[32:3]  ³ tn Heb “ears that hear.”

[41:5]  ⁴ tn Or “islands” (NIV, CEV); NCV “faraway places”; NLT “lands beyond the sea.”

[41:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “the ends of the earth,” but this is a merism, where the earth’s extremities stand for its entirety, i.e., the extremities and everything in between them.
