Isaiah 26:21

26:21 For look, the Lord is coming out of the place where he lives,

to punish the sin of those who live on the earth.

The earth will display the blood shed on it;

it will no longer cover up its slain.

Isaiah 42:5

42:5 This is what the true God, the Lord, says –

the one who created the sky and stretched it out,

the one who fashioned the earth and everything that lives on it,

the one who gives breath to the people on it,

and life to those who live on it:


tn Heb “out of his place” (so KJV, ASV).

sn This implies that rampant bloodshed is one of the reasons for divine judgment. See the note at 24:5.

tn Heb “the God.” The definite article here indicates distinctiveness or uniqueness.

tn Heb “and its offspring” (so NASB); NIV “all that comes out of it.”

tn Heb “and spirit [i.e., “breath”] to the ones walking in it” (NAB, NASB, and NRSV all similar).
