Isaiah 61:6

61:6 You will be called, ‘the Lord’s priests,

servants of our God.’

You will enjoy the wealth of nations

and boast about the riches you receive from them.


tn The Hebrew text adds, “it will be said concerning you.”

tn Heb “eat” (KJV, NAB, NASB); NIV “feed on”; NLT “be fed with.”

tc The form in the Hebrew text is probably a corruption of יִתְאַמְּרוּ (yitammÿru), a Hitpael from אָמַר (’amar), meaning “boast about” (see HALOT 67 s.v. II אמר, HALOT 416 s.v. ימר, and BDB 56 s.v. אָמַר).

tn Heb “their glory” (i.e., riches).
