Isaiah 59:21

59:21 “As for me, this is my promise to ¹  them,” says the Lord. “My spirit, who is upon you, and my words, which I have placed in your mouth, will not depart from your mouth or from the mouths of your children and descendants from this time forward,” ²  says the Lord.

Isaiah 65:8

65:8 This is what the Lord says:

“When ³  juice is discovered in a cluster of grapes,

someone says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for it contains juice.’ ⁴ 

So I will do for the sake of my servants –

I will not destroy everyone. ⁵ 

[59:21]  ¹ tn Or “my covenant with” (so many English versions); NCV “my agreement with.”

[59:21]  ² tn Heb “from now and on into the future.”

[65:8]  ³ tn Heb “just as.” In the Hebrew text the statement is one long sentence, “Just as…, so I will do….”

[65:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “for a blessing is in it.”

[65:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “by not destroying everyone.”
