Isaiah 65:9

65:9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,

and from Judah people to take possession of my mountains.

My chosen ones will take possession of the land;

my servants will live there.

Isaiah 65:15

65:15 Your names will live on in the curse formulas of my chosen ones.

The sovereign Lord will kill you,

but he will give his servants another name.


tn Heb “it.” The third feminine singular pronominal suffix probably refers to the land which contains the aforementioned mountains.

tn Heb “you will leave your name for an oath to my chosen ones.”

sn For an example of such a curse formula see Jer 29:22.
