Isaiah 57:17-18

57:17 I was angry because of their sinful greed;

I attacked them and angrily rejected them,

yet they remained disobedient and stubborn.

57:18 I have seen their behavior,

but I will heal them and give them rest,

and I will once again console those who mourn.


tn Heb “and I struck him, hiding, and I was angry.” פָּנַיִם (panayim, “face”) is the implied object of “hiding.”

tn Heb “and he walked [as an] apostate in the way of his heart.”

tn Heb “his ways” (so KJV, NASB, NIV); TEV “how they acted.”

tn Heb “and I will restore consolation to him, to his mourners.”
