Isaiah 62:11

62:11 Look, the Lord announces to the entire earth:

“Say to Daughter Zion,

‘Look, your deliverer comes!

Look, his reward is with him

and his reward goes before him!’”

Revelation 22:12

22:12 (Look! I am coming soon,

and my reward is with me to pay each one according to what he has done!


tn Heb “to the end of the earth” (so NASB, NRSV).

sn As v. 12 indicates, the returning exiles are the Lord’s reward/prize. See also 40:10 and the note there.

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.
