Isaiah 27:6

27:6 The time is coming when Jacob will take root; ¹ 

Israel will blossom and grow branches.

The produce ²  will fill the surface of the world. ³ 

Isaiah 42:10

42:10 Sing to the Lord a brand new song!

Praise him ⁴  from the horizon of the earth,

you who go down to the sea, and everything that lives in it, ⁵ 

you coastlands ⁶  and those who live there!

[27:6]  ¹ tc The Hebrew text reads literally, “the coming ones, let Jacob take root.” הַבָּאִים (habba’im, “the coming ones”) should probably be emended to יָמִים בָאִים (yamim va’im, “days [are] coming”) or בְּיָמִים הַבָּאִים (biyamim habba’im, “in the coming days”).

[27:6]  ² tn Heb “fruit” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[27:6]  ³ sn This apparently refers to a future population explosion. See 26:18.

[42:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “his praise.” The phrase stands parallel to “new song” in the previous line.

[42:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “and its fullness”; NASB, NIV “and all that is in it.”

[42:10]  ⁶ tn Or “islands” (NASB, NIV); NLT “distant coastlands.”
