Isaiah 61:5

61:5 “Foreigners will take care of your sheep;

foreigners will work in your fields and vineyards.

Isaiah 65:21

65:21 They will build houses and live in them;

they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.


sn The Lord speaks in vv. 7-8 (and possibly v. 9). It is not clear where the servant’s speech (see vv. 1-3a) ends and the Lord’s begins. Perhaps the direct address to the people signals the beginning of the Lord’s speech.

tn Heb “will stand [in position] and shepherd.”
