1 tn Heb “wine in the vats the treader does not tread.”
2 sn The Lord appears to be the speaker here. See 15:9.
3 tn For a parallel use of the phrase “find joy in” (Hitpael of עָנַג [’anag] followed by the preposition עַל [’al]), see Ps 37:4.
4 tn Heb “and I will cause you to ride upon the heights of the land.” The statement seems to be an allusion to Deut 32:13, where it is associated, as here, with God’s abundant provision of food.
5 tn Heb “and I will cause you to eat the inheritance of Jacob your father.” The Hebrew term נַחֲלָה (nakhalah) likely stands by metonymy for the crops that grow on Jacob’s “inheritance” (i.e., the land he inherited as a result of God’s promise).
6 tn Heb “for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” The introductory כִּי (ki) may be asseverative (as reflected in the translation) or causal/explanatory, explaining why the preceding promise will become reality (because it is guaranteed by the divine word).
7 tn Heb “instead of your shame, a double portion.”
8 tn Heb “and [instead of] humiliation they will rejoice [over] their portion.” The term תָחָת (takhat, “instead of”) is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).
9 tn Heb “therefore” (so KJV, NASB); NIV “and so.”
10 tn Heb “from the good of the heart.”
11 tn Heb “from the pain of the heart.”
12 tn Heb “from the breaking of the spirit.”

14 tn Heb “Jerusalem, joy.” The next verse suggests the meaning: The Lord will create Jerusalem to be a source of joy to himself.
15 tn Heb “her people, happiness.” See the preceding note.
