Isaiah 55:5

Context

55:5 Look, you will summon nations 1  you did not previously know;

nations 2  that did not previously know you will run to you,

because of the Lord your God,

the Holy One of Israel, 3 

for he bestows honor on you.

1 tn Heb “a nation,” but the singular is collective here, as the plural verbs in the next line indicate (note that both “know” and “run” are third plural forms).

2 tn Heb “a nation,” but the singular is collective here, as the plural verbs that follow indicate.

3 sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.
