Isaiah 63:17

Context

63:17 Why, Lord, do you make us stray 1  from your ways, 2 

and make our minds stubborn so that we do not obey you? 3 

Return for the sake of your servants,

the tribes of your inheritance!

Isaiah 41:22

Context

41:22 “Let them produce evidence! Let them tell us what will happen!

Tell us about your earlier predictive oracles, 4 

so we may examine them 5  and see how they were fulfilled. 6 

Or decree for us some future events!

[63:17]  1 tn Some suggest a tolerative use of the Hiphil here, “[why do] you allow us to stray?” (cf. NLT). Though the Hiphil of תָעָה (taah) appears to be tolerative in Jer 50:6, elsewhere it is preferable or necessary to take it as causative. See Isa 3:12; 9:15; and 30:28, as well as Gen 20:13; 2 Kgs 21:9; Job 12:24-25; Prov 12:26; Jer 23:13, 32; Hos 4:12; Amos 2:4; Mic 3:5.

[63:17]  2 tn This probably refers to God’s commands.

[63:17]  3 tn Heb “[Why do] you harden our heart[s] so as not to fear you.” The interrogative particle is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).

[41:22]  4 tn Heb “As for the former things, tell us what they are!”

[41:22]  5 tn Heb “so we might set [them to] our heart.”

[41:22]  6 tn Heb “and might know their outcome.”
