Isaiah 30:3

30:3 But Pharaoh’s protection will bring you nothing but shame,

and the safety of Egypt’s protective shade nothing but humiliation.

Isaiah 42:17

will turn back and be utterly humiliated, ¹ 

those who say to metal images, ‘You are our gods.’”

Isaiah 30:5

30:5 all will be put to shame ² 

because of a nation that cannot help them,

who cannot give them aid or help,

but only shame and disgrace.”

Isaiah 61:7

61:7 Instead of shame, you will get a double portion; ³ 

instead of humiliation, they will rejoice over the land they receive. ⁴ 

Yes, ⁵  they will possess a double portion in their land

and experience lasting joy.

Isaiah 54:4

54:4 Don’t be afraid, for you will not be put to shame!

Don’t be intimidated, ⁶  for you will not be humiliated!

You will forget about the shame you experienced in your youth;

you will no longer remember the disgrace of your abandonment. ⁷ 

[42:17]  ¹ tn Heb “be ashamed with shame”; ASV, NASB “be utterly put to shame.”

[30:5]  ¹ tn The present translation follows the marginal (Qere) reading of the Hebrew text; the consonantal text (Kethib) has “made to stink, decay.”

[61:7]  ¹ tn Heb “instead of your shame, a double portion.”

[61:7]  ² tn Heb “and [instead of] humiliation they will rejoice [over] their portion.” The term תָחָת (takhat, “instead of”) is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).

[61:7]  ³ tn Heb “therefore” (so KJV, NASB); NIV “and so.”

[54:4]  ¹ tn Or “embarrassed”; NASB “humiliated…disgraced.”

[54:4]  ² tn Another option is to translate, “the disgrace of our widowhood” (so NRSV). However, the following context (vv. 6-7) refers to Zion’s husband, the Lord, abandoning her, not dying. This suggests that an אַלְמָנָה (’almanah) was a woman who had lost her husband, whether by death or abandonment.
