63:7 I will tell of the faithful acts of the Lord,
of the Lord’s praiseworthy deeds.
I will tell about all 1 the Lord did for us,
the many good things he did for the family of Israel, 2
because of 3 his compassion and great faithfulness.
66:4 So I will choose severe punishment 4 for them;
I will bring on them what they dread,
because I called, and no one responded,
I spoke and they did not listen.
They did evil before me; 5
they chose to do what displeases me.”
1 tn Heb “according to all which.”
2 tn Heb “greatness of goodness to the house of Israel which he did for them.”
3 tn Heb “according to.”
4 tn The precise meaning of the noun is uncertain. It occurs only here and in 3:4 (but see the note there). It appears to be derived from the verbal root עָלַל (’alal), which can carry the nuance “deal severely.”
5 tn Heb “that which is evil in my eyes.”
