Yesaya 60:6

60:6 Camel caravans will cover your roads, ¹ 

young camels from Midian and Ephah.

All the merchants of Sheba ²  will come,

bringing gold and incense

and singing praises to the Lord. ³ 

Yesaya 65:17

65:17 For look, I am ready to create

new heavens and a new earth! ⁴ 

The former ones ⁵  will not be remembered;

no one will think about them anymore. ⁶ 

[60:6]  ¹ tn Heb “an abundance of camels will cover you.”

[60:6]  ² tn Heb “all of them, from Sheba.”

[60:6]  ³ tn Heb “and they will announce the praises of the Lord.”

[65:17]  ⁴ sn This hyperbolic statement likens the coming transformation of Jerusalem (see vv. 18-19) to a new creation of the cosmos.

[65:17]  ⁵ tn Or perhaps, “the former things” (so ASV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “The events of the past.”

[65:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “and they will not come up on the mind.”
