32:13 Mourn 1 over the land of my people,
which is overgrown with thorns and briers,
and over all the once-happy houses 2
in the city filled with revelry. 3
66:10 Be happy for Jerusalem
and rejoice with her, all you who love her!
Share in her great joy,
all you who have mourned over her!
66:14 When you see this, you will be happy, 4
and you will be revived. 5
The Lord will reveal his power to his servants
and his anger to his enemies. 6
1 tn “Mourn” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text vv. 12-13 are one long sentence.
2 tn Heb “indeed, over all the houses of joy.” It is not certain if this refers to individual homes or to places where parties and celebrations were held.
3 sn This same phrase is used in 22:2.
4 tn “and you will see and your heart will be happy.”
5 tn Heb “and your bones like grass will sprout.”
6 tn Heb “and the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants, and anger to his enemies.”
