Isaiah 29:23

29:23 For when they see their children,

whom I will produce among them, ¹ 

they will honor ²  my name.

They will honor the Holy One of Jacob; ³ 

they will respect ⁴  the God of Israel.

Isaiah 5:16

5:16 The Lord who commands armies will be exalted ⁵  when he punishes, ⁶ 

the sovereign God’s authority will be recognized when he judges. ⁷ 

Isaiah 8:13

8:13 You must recognize the authority of the Lord who commands armies. ⁸ 

He is the one you must respect;

he is the one you must fear. ⁹ 

Isaiah 13:3

13:3 I have given orders to my chosen soldiers; ¹⁰ 

I have summoned the warriors through whom I will vent my anger, ¹¹ 

my boasting, arrogant ones. ¹² 

Isaiah 30:29

30:29 You will sing

as you do in the evening when you are celebrating a festival.

You will be happy like one who plays a flute

as he goes to the mountain of the Lord, the Rock who shelters Israel. ¹³ 

Isaiah 65:5

65:5 They say, ‘Keep to yourself!

Don’t get near me, for I am holier than you!’

These people are like smoke in my nostrils,

like a fire that keeps burning all day long.

Isaiah 66:17

66:17 “As for those who consecrate and ritually purify themselves so they can follow their leader and worship in the sacred orchards, ¹⁴  those who eat the flesh of pigs and other disgusting creatures, like mice ¹⁵  – they will all be destroyed together,” ¹⁶  says the Lord.

[29:23]  ¹ tn Heb “for when he sees his children, the work of my hands in his midst.”

[29:23]  ² tn Or “treat as holy” (also in the following line); NASB, NRSV “will sanctify.”

[29:23]  ³ sn Holy One of Jacob is similar to the phrase “Holy One of Israel” common throughout Isaiah; see the sn at Isa 1:4.

[29:23]  ⁴ tn Or “fear,” in the sense of “stand in awe of.”

[5:16]  ⁵ tn Or “elevated”; TEV “the Lord Almighty shows his greatness.”

[5:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “by judgment/justice.” When God justly punishes the evildoers denounced in the preceding verses, he will be recognized as a mighty warrior.

[5:16]  ⁷ tn Heb “The holy God will be set apart by fairness.” In this context God’s holiness is his sovereign royal authority, which implies a commitment to justice (see the note on the phrase “the sovereign king of Israel” in 1:4). When God judges evildoers as they deserve, his sovereignty will be acknowledged.

[8:13]  ⁹ tn Heb “the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts], him you must set apart.” The word order is emphatic, with the object being placed first.

[8:13]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he is your [object of] fear, he is your [object of] terror.” The roots יָרֵא (yare’) and עָרַץ (’arats) are repeated from v. 12b.

[13:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “my consecrated ones,” i.e., those who have been set apart by God for the special task of carrying out his judgment.

[13:3]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “my warriors with respect to my anger.”

[13:3]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the boasting ones of my pride”; cf. ASV, NASB, NRSV “my proudly exulting ones.”

[30:29]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “[you will have] joy of heart, like the one going with a flute to enter the mountain of the Lord to the Rock of Israel.” The image here is not a foundational rock, but a rocky cliff where people could hide for protection (for example, the fortress of Masada).

[66:17]  ²¹ tn Heb “the ones who consecrate themselves and the ones who purify themselves toward the orchards [or “gardens”] after the one in the midst.” The precise meaning of the statement is unclear, though it is obvious that some form of idolatry is in view.

[66:17]  ²² tn Heb “ones who eat the flesh of the pig and the disgusting thing and the mouse.”

[66:17]  ²³ tn Heb “together they will come to an end.”
