Yesaya 46:9

46:9 Remember what I accomplished in antiquity! ¹ 

Truly I am God, I have no peer; ² 

I am God, and there is none like me,

Yesaya 57:19

57:19 I am the one who gives them reason to celebrate. ³ 

Complete prosperity ⁴  is available both to those who are far away and those who are nearby,”

says the Lord, “and I will heal them.

[46:9]  ¹ tn Heb “remember the former things, from antiquity”; KJV, ASV “the former things of old.”

[46:9]  ² tn Heb “and there is no other” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[57:19]  ³ tc The Hebrew text has literally, “one who creates fruit of lips.” Perhaps the pronoun אֲנִי (’ani) should be inserted after the participle; it may have been accidentally omitted by haplography: נוּב שְׂפָתָיִם[אֲנִי] בּוֹרֵא (bore’ [’ani] nuv sÿfatayim). “Fruit of the lips” is often understood as a metonymy for praise; perhaps it refers more generally to joyful shouts (see v. 18).

[57:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “Peace, peace.” The repetition of the noun emphasizes degree.
