Yesaya 62:7

62:7 Don’t allow him to rest until he reestablishes Jerusalem, ¹ 

until he makes Jerusalem the pride ²  of the earth.

Zefanya 3:20

3:20 At that time I will lead you –

at the time I gather you together. ³ 

Be sure of this! ⁴  I will make all the nations of the earth respect and admire you ⁵ 

when you see me restore you,” ⁶  says the Lord.

[62:7]  ¹ tn “Jerusalem” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons; note the following line.

[62:7]  ² tn Heb “[the object of] praise.”

[3:20]  ³ tn In this line the second person pronoun is masculine plural, indicating that the exiles are addressed.

[3:20]  ⁴ tn Or “for.”

[3:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “I will make you into a name and praise among all the peoples of the earth.” Here the word “name” carries the nuance of “good reputation.”

[3:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “when I restore your fortunes to your eyes.” See the note on the phrase “restore them” in 2:7.
