Isaiah 42:8

The Lord Intervenes

42:8 I am the Lord! That is my name!

I will not share my glory with anyone else,

or the praise due me with idols.

Isaiah 47:3

47:3 Let your private parts be exposed!

Your genitals will be on display!

I will get revenge;

I will not have pity on anyone,”

Isaiah 48:11

48:11 For my sake alone I will act,

for how can I allow my name to be defiled?

I will not share my glory with anyone else!


tn Heb “Your shame will be seen.” In this context “shame” is a euphemism referring to the genitals.

tn Heb “I will not meet a man.” The verb פָּגַע (pagah) apparently carries the nuance “meet with kindness” here (cf. 64:5, and see BDB 803 s.v. Qal.2).

tn The Hebrew text repeats לְמַעֲנִי (lÿmaani, “for my sake”) for emphasis.

tn The Hebrew text reads literally, “for how can it be defiled?” The subject of the verb is probably “name” (v. 9).

sn See 42:8.
