30:11 Turn aside from the way,
stray off the path. 1
Remove from our presence the Holy One of Israel.” 2
40:3 A voice cries out,
“In the wilderness clear a way for the Lord;
construct in the desert a road for our God.
43:16 This is what the Lord says,
the one who made a road through the sea,
a pathway through the surging waters,
57:14 He says, 3
“Build it! Build it! Clear a way!
Remove all the obstacles out of the way of my people!”
1 sn The imagery refers to the way or path of truth, as revealed by God to the prophet.
2 sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.
3 tn Since God is speaking throughout this context, perhaps we should emend the text to “and I say.” However, divine speech is introduced in v. 15.
