45:4 For the sake of my servant Jacob,
Israel, my chosen one,
I call you by name
and give you a title of respect, even though you do not recognize 1 me.
65:9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,
and from Judah people to take possession of my mountains.
My chosen ones will take possession of the land; 2
my servants will live there.
65:15 Your names will live on in the curse formulas of my chosen ones. 3
The sovereign Lord will kill you,
but he will give his servants another name.
1 tn Or “know” (NCV, NRSV, TEV, NLT); NIV “acknowledge.”
2 tn Heb “it.” The third feminine singular pronominal suffix probably refers to the land which contains the aforementioned mountains.
3 tn Heb “you will leave your name for an oath to my chosen ones.”
