Isaiah 65:11

65:11 But as for you who abandon the Lord

and forget about worshiping at ⁴  my holy mountain,

who prepare a feast for the god called ‘Fortune,’ ⁵ 

and fill up wine jugs for the god called ‘Destiny’ ⁶  –

[22:12]  ¹ tn Heb “for baldness and the wearing of sackcloth.” See the note at 15:2.

[22:14]  ² tn Heb “it was revealed in my ears [by?] the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts].”

[22:14]  ³ tn Heb “Certainly this sin will not be atoned for until you die.” This does not imply that their death will bring atonement; rather it emphasizes that their sin is unpardonable. The statement has the form of an oath.

[65:11]  ³ tn The Hebrew text has simply, “forget.” The words “about worshiping at” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[65:11]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew has לַגַּד (laggad, “for Gad”), the name of a pagan deity. See HALOT 176 s.v. II גַּד 2.

[65:11]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew has לַמְנִי (lamni, “for Meni”), the name of a pagan deity. See HALOT 602 s.v. מְגִי.
