Isaiah 51:13

Compare all

11 So ^athe ransomed of the Lord shall return,
And come to Zion with singing,
With everlasting joy on their heads.
They shall obtain joy and gladness;
Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

12 “I, even I, am He ^awho comforts you.
Who are you that you should be afraid
^bOf a man who will die,
And of the son of a man who will be made ^clike grass?

13 And ^ayou forget the Lord your Maker,
^bWho stretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth;
You have feared continually every day
Because of the fury of the oppressor,
When he has prepared to destroy.
^cAnd where is the fury of the oppressor?

14 The captive exile hastens, that he may be loosed,
^aThat he should not die in the pit,
And that his bread should not fail.

15 But I am the Lord your God,
Who ^adivided the sea whose waves roared—
The Lord of hosts is His name.

16 And ^aI have put My words in your mouth;
^bI have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
^cThat I may¹ plant the heavens,
Lay the foundations of the earth,
And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ”

God’s Fury Removed

17 ^aAwake, awake!
Stand up, O Jerusalem,
You who ^bhave drunk at the hand of the Lord
The cup of His fury;
You have drunk the dregs of the cup of trembling,
And drained it out.

Isaiah 51:13

Of the oppressor, as if he, etc. - "The caph in keasher seems clearly to have changed its situation from the end of the preceding word to the beginning of this; or rather, to have been omitted by mistake there, because it was here. That it was there the Septuagint show by rendering hammetsikech , of him, that oppressed thee. And so they render this word in both its places in this verse. The Vulgate also has the pronoun in the first instance; furoris ejus qui te tribulabat ." Dr. Jubb. The correction seems well founded; I have not conformed the translation to it, because it makes little difference in the sense.
