Isaiah 59:19

59:19 In the west, people respect ¹  the Lord’s reputation; ² 

in the east they recognize his splendor. ³ 

For he comes like a rushing ⁴  stream

driven on by wind sent from the Lord. ⁵ 

[59:19]  ¹ tc Heb “fear.” A few medieval Hebrew mss read “see.”

[59:19]  ² tn Heb “and they fear from the west the name of the Lord.”

[59:19]  ³ tn Heb “and from the rising of the sun his splendor.”

[59:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “narrow”; NAB, NIV, NRSV “pent-up.”

[59:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “the wind of the Lord drives it on.” The term רוּחַ (ruakh) could be translated “breath” here (see 30:28).
