Yesaya 32:3

32:3 Eyes ¹  will no longer be blind ² 

and ears ³  will be attentive.

Yesaya 48:18

48:18 If only you had obeyed my ⁴  commandments,

prosperity would have flowed to you like a river, ⁵ 

deliverance would have come to you like the waves of the sea. ⁶ 

[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.”

[48:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “paid attention to” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “had listened to.”

[48:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “like a river your peace would have been.” שָׁלוֹם (shalom) probably refers here to the peace and prosperity which God promised in return for obedience to the covenant.

[48:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.” צְדָקָה (tsÿdaqah) probably refers here to divine deliverance from enemies. See v. 19.
