24:14 They 1 lift their voices and shout joyfully;
they praise 2 the majesty of the Lord in the west.
40:9 Go up on a high mountain, O herald Zion!
Shout out loudly, O herald Jerusalem! 3
Shout, don’t be afraid!
Say to the towns of Judah,
“Here is your God!”
58:1 “Shout loudly! Don’t be quiet!
Yell as loud as a trumpet!
Confront my people with their rebellious deeds; 4

1 sn The remnant of the nations (see v. 13) may be the unspecified subject. If so, then those who have survived the judgment begin to praise God.
2 tn Heb “they yell out concerning.”
3 tn The second feminine singular imperatives are addressed to personified Zion/Jerusalem, who is here told to ascend a high hill and proclaim the good news of the Lord’s return to the other towns of Judah. Isa 41:27 and 52:7 speak of a herald sent to Zion, but the masculine singular form מְבַשֵּׂר (mÿvaser) is used in these verses, in contrast to the feminine singular form מְבַשֶּׂרֶת (mÿvaseret) employed in 40:9, where Zion is addressed as a herald.
4 tn Heb “declare to my people their rebellion.”
5 tn Heb “and to the house of Jacob their sin.” The verb “declare” is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).
