Isaiah 59:1

Injustice Brings Alienation from God

59:1 Look, the Lord’s hand is not too weak ⁵  to deliver you;

his ear is not too deaf to hear you. ⁶ 

[41:11]  ¹ tn Heb “the men of your strife”; NASB “those who contend with you.”

[41:11]  ² tn Heb “like nothing”; NAB “come to nought.”

[54:15]  ³ tn The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb here for emphasis.

[54:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “will fall over you.” The expression נָפַל עַל (nafal ’al) can mean “attack,” but here it means “fall over to,” i.e., “surrender to.”

[59:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “short” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[59:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “or his ear too heavy [i.e., “dull”] to hear.”
