Yesaya 55:13

55:13 Evergreens will grow in place of thorn bushes,

firs will grow in place of nettles;

they will be a monument to the Lord, ¹ 

a permanent reminder that will remain. ² 

Yesaya 56:5

56:5 I will set up within my temple and my walls a monument ³ 

that will be better than sons and daughters.

I will set up a permanent monument ⁴  for them that will remain.

[55:13]  ² tn Or, more literally, “a permanent sign that will not be cut off.”

[56:5]  ³ tn Heb “a hand and a name.” For other examples where יָד (yad) refers to a monument, see HALOT 388 s.v.

[56:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “name” (so KJV, NIV, NRSV).
