[3:23]  ¹ tn The precise meaning of many of the words in this list is uncertain.

[10:12]  ² tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[10:12]  ³ tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here and in vv. 16, 23, 24, 33 is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[10:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “his work on/against.” Cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV “on”; NIV “against.”

[10:12]  ⁵ tn The Lord is speaking here, as in vv. 5-6a.

[10:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “I will visit [judgment] on the fruit of the greatness of the heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of the height of his eyes.” The proud Assyrian king is likened to a large, beautiful fruit tree.

[33:15]  ³ tn Heb “walks” (so NASB, NIV).

[33:15]  ⁴ tn Or, possibly, “justly”; NAB “who practices virtue.”

[33:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “[who] shakes off his hands from grabbing hold of a bribe.”

[33:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “[who] shuts his ear from listening to bloodshed.”

[33:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “[who] closes his eyes from seeing evil.”

[53:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “before him.” Some suggest an emendation to “before us.” If the third singular suffix of the Hebrew text is retained, it probably refers to the Lord (see v. 1b). For a defense of this reading, see R. Whybray, Isaiah 40-66 (NCBC), 173-74.

[53:2]  ⁵ sn The metaphor in this verse suggests insignificance.

[53:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “that we might see him.” The vav conjunctive prefixed to the imperfect introduces a result clause here. See GKC 504-5 §166.a.

[53:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “that we should desire him.” The vav conjunctive prefixed to the imperfect introduces a result clause here. See GKC 504-5 §166.a.

[62:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “to the end of the earth” (so NASB, NRSV).

[62:11]  ⁶ sn As v. 12 indicates, the returning exiles are the Lord’s reward/prize. See also 40:10 and the note there.
