and that no one is left, whether confined or set free.

Deuteronomy 32:2

and showers upon new growth.

Isaiah 14:1-2

Context

14:1 The Lord will certainly have compassion on Jacob; 8  he will again choose Israel as his special people 9  and restore 10  them to their land. Resident foreigners will join them and unite with the family 11  of Jacob. 14:2 Nations will take them and bring them back to their own place. Then the family of Jacob will make foreigners their servants as they settle in the Lord’s land. 12  They will make their captors captives and rule over the ones who oppressed them.

Isaiah 60:14-16

Context

60:14 The children of your oppressors will come bowing to you;

all who treated you with disrespect will bow down at your feet.

They will call you, ‘The City of the Lord,

Zion of the Holy One of Israel.’ 13 

60:15 You were once abandoned

and despised, with no one passing through,

but I will make you 14  a permanent source of pride

and joy to coming generations.

60:16 You will drink the milk of nations;

you will nurse at the breasts of kings. 15 

Then you will recognize that I, the Lord, am your deliverer,

your protector, 16  the powerful ruler of Jacob. 17 

Revelation 11:18

Context

11:18 The 18  nations 19  were enraged,

but 20  your wrath has come,

and the time has come for the dead to be judged,

and the time has come to give to your servants, 21 

the prophets, their reward,

as well as to the saints

and to those who revere 22  your name, both small and great,

and the time has come 23  to destroy those who destroy 24  the earth.”

[32:36]  1 tn The translation understands the verb in the sense of “be grieved, relent” (cf. HALOT 689 s.v. נחם hitp 2); cf. KJV, ASV “repent himself”; NLT “will change his mind.” Another option is to translate “will show compassion to” (see BDB 637 s.v. נחם); cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV.

[32:2]  2 tn Or “mist,” “light drizzle.” In some contexts the term appears to refer to light rain, rather than dew.

[22:1]  3 tn Heb “you must not see,” but, if translated literally into English, the statement is misleading.

[22:1]  4 tn Heb “brother’s” (also later in this verse). In this context it is not limited to one’s siblings, however; cf. NAB “your kinsman’s.”

[22:1]  5 tn Heb “hide yourself.”

[22:1]  6 tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with the words “without fail.”

[30:11]  7 sn Covered me with joy. “Joy” probably stands metonymically for festive attire here.

[14:1]  8 tn The sentence begins with כִּי (ki), which is understood as asseverative (“certainly”) in the translation. Another option is to translate, “For the Lord will have compassion.” In this case one of the reasons for Babylon’s coming demise (13:22b) is the Lord’s desire to restore his people.

[14:1]  9 tn The words “as his special people” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[14:1]  10 tn Or “settle” (NASB, NIV, NCV, NLT).

[14:1]  11 tn Heb “house.”

[14:2]  12 tn Heb “and the house of Jacob will take possession of them [i.e., the nations], on the land of the Lord, as male servants and female servants.”

[60:14]  13 sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

[60:15]  14 tn Heb “Instead of your being abandoned and despised, with no one passing through, I will make you.”

[60:16]  15 sn The nations and kings are depicted as a mother nursing her children. Restored Zion will be nourished by them as she receives their wealth as tribute.

[60:16]  16 tn Or “redeemer.” See the note at 41:14.

[60:16]  17 sn See 1:24 and 49:26.

[11:18]  18 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:18]  19 tn Or “The Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[11:18]  20 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[11:18]  21 tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[11:18]  22 tn Grk “who fear.”

[11:18]  23 tn The words “the time has come” do not occur except at the beginning of the verse; the phrase has been repeated for emphasis and contrast. The Greek has one finite verb (“has come”) with a compound subject (“your wrath,” “the time”), followed by three infinitive clauses (“to be judged,” “to give,” “to destroy”). The rhetorical power of the repetition of the finite verb in English thus emulates the rhetorical power of its lone instance in Greek.

[11:18]  24 tn Or “who deprave.” There is a possible wordplay here on two meanings for διαφθείρω (diafqeirw), with the first meaning “destroy” and the second meaning either “to ruin” or “to make morally corrupt.” See L&N 20.40.
