61:7 Instead of shame, you will get a double portion; 1
instead of humiliation, they will rejoice over the land they receive. 2
Yes, 3 they will possess a double portion in their land
and experience lasting joy.
66:5 Hear the word of the Lord,
you who respect what he has to say! 4
Your countrymen, 5 who hate you
and exclude you, supposedly for the sake of my name,
say, “May the Lord be glorified,
then we will witness your joy.” 6
But they will be put to shame.
66:14 When you see this, you will be happy, 7
and you will be revived. 8
The Lord will reveal his power to his servants
and his anger to his enemies. 9
12:2 Many of those who sleep
in the dusty ground will awake –
some to everlasting life,
and others to shame and everlasting abhorrence. 10
1 tn Heb “instead of your shame, a double portion.”
2 tn Heb “and [instead of] humiliation they will rejoice [over] their portion.” The term תָחָת (takhat, “instead of”) is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).
3 tn Heb “therefore” (so KJV, NASB); NIV “and so.”
4 tn Heb “who tremble at his word.”
5 tn Heb “brothers” (so NASB, NIV); NRSV “Your own people”; NLT “Your close relatives.”
6 tn Or “so that we might witness your joy.” The point of this statement is unclear.
7 tn “and you will see and your heart will be happy.”
8 tn Heb “and your bones like grass will sprout.”
9 tn Heb “and the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants, and anger to his enemies.”
