Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Isa 48:18

¹ tn Heb “paid attention to” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “had listened to.”

² tn Heb “like a river your peace would have been.” שָׁלוֹם (shalom) probably refers here to the peace and prosperity which God promised in return for obedience to the covenant.

³ tn Heb “and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.” צְדָקָה (tsÿdaqah) probably refers here to divine deliverance from enemies. See v. 19.
