Isaiah 26:12

26:12 O Lord, you make us secure, ¹ 

for even all we have accomplished, you have done for us. ² 

Isaiah 32:17

32:17 Fairness will produce peace ³ 

and result in lasting security. ⁴ 

[26:12]  ¹ tn Heb “O Lord, you establish peace for us.”

[26:12]  ² tc Some suggest emending גַּם כָּל (gam kol, “even all”) to כִּגְמֻל (kigmul, “according to the deed[s] of”) One might then translate “for according to what our deeds deserve, you have acted on our behalf.” Nevertheless, accepting the MT as it stands, the prophet affirms that Yahweh deserved all the credit for anything Israel had accomplished.

[32:17]  ³ tn Heb “and the product of fairness will be peace.”

[32:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the work of fairness [will be] calmness and security forever.”
