43:28 So I defiled your holy princes,
and handed Jacob over to destruction,
and subjected 1 Israel to humiliating abuse.”
44:1 “Now, listen, Jacob my servant,
Israel whom I have chosen!”
44:2 This is what the Lord, the one who made you, says –
the one who formed you in the womb and helps you:
“Don’t be afraid, my servant Jacob,
Jeshurun, 2 whom I have chosen!
1 tn The word “subjected” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
2 sn Jeshurun is a poetic name for Israel; it occurs here and in Deut 32:15; 33:5, 26.
