13:3 I have given orders to my chosen soldiers; 1
I have summoned the warriors through whom I will vent my anger, 2
my boasting, arrogant ones. 3
65:15 Your names will live on in the curse formulas of my chosen ones. 4
The sovereign Lord will kill you,
but he will give his servants another name.
1 tn Heb “my consecrated ones,” i.e., those who have been set apart by God for the special task of carrying out his judgment.
2 tn Heb “my warriors with respect to my anger.”
3 tn Heb “the boasting ones of my pride”; cf. ASV, NASB, NRSV “my proudly exulting ones.”
4 tn Heb “you will leave your name for an oath to my chosen ones.”
sn For an example of such a curse formula see Jer 29:22.
