masters other than you have ruled us,

but we praise your name alone.

Isaiah 62:8

62:8 The Lord swears an oath by his right hand,

by his strong arm: ¹ 

“I will never again give your grain

to your enemies as food,

and foreigners will not drink your wine,

which you worked hard to produce.

Exodus 23:13

23:13 “Pay attention to do ²  everything I have told you, and do not even mention ³  the names of other gods – do not let them be heard on your lips. ⁴ 

[62:8]  ¹ tn The Lord’s right hand and strong arm here symbolize his power and remind the audience that his might guarantees the fulfillment of the following promise.

[23:13]  ² tn The phrase “to do” is added; in Hebrew word order the line says, “In all that I have said to you you will watch yourselves.” The verb for paying attention is a Niphal imperfect with an imperatival force.

[23:13]  ³ tn Or “honor,” Hiphil of זָכַר (zakhar). See also Exod 20:25; Josh 23:7; Isa 26:13.

[23:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “mouth.”
