Isaiah 43:22

you did not long ³  for me, O Israel.

Isaiah 43:28--44:1

43:28 So I defiled your holy princes,

and subjected ⁴  Israel to humiliating abuse.”

The Lord Will Renew Israel

44:1 “Now, listen, Jacob my servant,

Israel whom I have chosen!”

[8:17]  ¹ tn Heb “who hides his face from the house of Jacob.”

[10:21]  ² tn The referent of אֵל גִּבּוֹר (’el gibbor, “mighty God”) is uncertain. The title appears only here and in 9:6, where it is one of the royal titles of the coming ideal Davidic king. (Similar titles appear in Deut 10:17 and Neh 9:32 [“the great, mighty, and awesome God”] and in Jer 32:18 [“the great and mighty God”]. Both titles refer to God.) Though Hos 3:5 pictures Israel someday seeking “David their king,” and provides some support for a messianic interpretation of Isa 10:21, the Davidic king is not mentioned in the immediate context of Isa 10:21 (see Isa 11, however). The preceding verse mentions Israel relying on the Lord, so it is likely that the title refers to God here.

[43:22]  ³ tn Or “strive”; KJV, ASV, NRSV “been weary of me.”

[43:28]  ⁴ tn The word “subjected” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
