62:11 Look, the Lord announces to the entire earth: 1
“Say to Daughter Zion,
‘Look, your deliverer comes!
Look, his reward is with him
and his reward goes before him!’” 2
22:12 (Look! I am coming soon,
and my reward is with me to pay 3 each one according to what he has done!
1 tn Heb “to the end of the earth” (so NASB, NRSV).
2 sn As v. 12 indicates, the returning exiles are the Lord’s reward/prize. See also 40:10 and the note there.
3 tn The Greek term may be translated either “pay” or “pay back” and has something of a double meaning here. However, because of the mention of “wages” (“reward,” another wordplay with two meanings) in the previous clause, the translation “pay” for ἀποδοῦναι (apodounai) was used here.
