Yesaya 45:24

45:24 they will say about me,

“Yes, the Lord is a powerful deliverer.”’” ¹ 

All who are angry at him will cower before him. ² 

Yeremia 23:6

23:6 Under his rule ³  Judah will enjoy safety ⁴ 

and Israel will live in security. ⁵ 

This is the name he will go by:

‘The Lord has provided us with justice.’ ⁶ 

Daniel 9:7

9:7 “You are righteous, ⁷  O Lord, but we are humiliated this day ⁸  – the people ⁹  of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far away in all the countries in which you have scattered them, because they have behaved unfaithfully toward you.

[45:24]  ¹ tn Heb “‘Yes, in the Lord,’ one says about me, ‘is deliverance and strength.’”

[45:24]  ² tn Heb “will come to him and be ashamed.”

[23:6]  ³ tn Heb “In his days [= during the time he rules].”

[23:6]  ⁴ tn Parallelism and context (cf. v. 4) suggest this nuance for the word often translated “be saved.” For this nuance elsewhere see Ps 119:117; Prov 28:18 for the verb (יָשַׁע [yasha’] in the Niphal); and Ps 12:6; Job 5:4, 11 for the related noun (יֶשַׁע, yesha’).

[23:6]  ⁵ sn It should be noted that this brief oracle of deliverance implies the reunification of Israel and Judah under the future Davidic ruler. Jeremiah has already spoken about this reunification earlier in 3:18 and will have more to say about it in 30:3; 31:27, 31. This same ideal was espoused in the prophecies of Hosea (1:10-11 [2:1-2 HT]), Isaiah (11:1-4, 10-12), and Ezekiel (37:15-28) all of which have messianic and eschatological significance.

[23:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “his name will be called ‘The Lord our righteousness’.”

[23:6]  sn The Hebrew word translated “justice” here is very broad in its usage, and it is hard to catch all the relevant nuances for this word in this context. It is used for “vindication” in legal contexts (see, e.g., Job 6:29), for “deliverance” or “salvation” in exilic contexts (see, e.g., Isa 58:8), and in the sense of ruling, judging with “justice” (see, e.g., Lev 19:15; Isa 32:1). Here it probably sums up the justice that the Lord provides through raising up this ruler as well as the safety, security, and well-being that result (see vv. 5-6a). In the NT this takes on soteriological connotations (see 1 Cor 1:31 in its context).

[9:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “to you (belongs) righteousness.”

[9:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “and to us (belongs) shame of face like this day.”

[9:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “men.”
