Isaiah 49:23

49:23 Kings will be your children’s ⁶  guardians;

their princesses will nurse your children. ⁷

Then you will recognize that I am the Lord;

those who wait patiently for me are not put to shame.

Isaiah 60:14

Revelation 3:9

3:9 Listen! ¹⁰  I am going to make those people from the synagogue ¹¹  of Satan – who say they are Jews yet ¹²  are not, but are lying – Look, I will make ¹³  them come and bow down ¹⁴  at your feet and acknowledge ¹⁵  that I have loved you.

[2:25]  ¹ sn The two brief episodes recorded in vv. 19-25 demonstrate Elisha’s authority and prove that he is the legitimate prophetic heir of Elijah. He has the capacity to bring life and blessing to those who recognize his authority, or death and judgment to those who reject him.

[5:8]  ² tn Heb “man of God” (also in vv. 15, 20).

[5:8]  ³ tn Heb “Let him come.”

[5:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Naaman) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “look.”

[49:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “your,” but Zion here stands by metonymy for her children (see v. 22b).

[49:23]  ⁷ tn Heb “you.” See the preceding note.

[49:23]  ⁸ tn Or “at your feet” (NAB, NIV); NLT “from your feet.”

[3:9]  ¹³ tn The verb here is ποιέω (poiew), but in this context it has virtually the same meaning as δίδωμι (didwmi) used at the beginning of the verse. Stylistic variation like this is typical of Johannine literature.

[3:9]  ¹⁴ tn The verb here is προσκυνήσουσιν (proskunhsousin), normally used to refer to worship.

[3:9]  ¹⁵ tn Or “and know,” “and recognize.”
