Discovery BoxIsaiah 30:15 
Context30:15 For this is what the master, the Lord, the Holy One of Israel says:
“If you repented and patiently waited for me, you would be delivered; 1
if you calmly trusted in me you would find strength, 2
but you are unwilling.
Isaiah 33:16
Context33:16 This is the person who will live in a secure place; 3
he will find safety in the rocky, mountain strongholds; 4
he will have food
and a constant supply of water.
Isaiah 40:31
Context40:31 But those who wait for the Lord’s help 5 find renewed strength;
they rise up as if they had eagles’ wings, 6
they run without growing weary,
they walk without getting tired.
Isaiah 49:9
Context49:9 You will say 7 to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’
and to those who are in dark dungeons, 8 ‘Emerge.’ 9
They will graze beside the roads;
on all the slopes they will find pasture.
Isaiah 58:14
Context58:14 Then you will find joy in your relationship to the Lord, 10
and I will give you great prosperity, 11
and cause crops to grow on the land I gave to your ancestor Jacob.” 12
Know for certain that the Lord has spoken. 13
Isaiah 66:24
Context66:24 “They will go out and observe the corpses of those who rebelled against me, for the maggots that eat them will not die, 14 and the fire that consumes them will not die out. 15 All people will find the sight abhorrent.” 16
1 tn Heb “in returning and in quietness you will be delivered.” Many English versions render the last phrase “shall be saved” or something similar (e.g., NAB, NASB, NRSV).
2 tn Heb “in quietness and in trust is your strength” (NASB and NRSV both similar).
3 tn Heb “he [in the] exalted places will live.”
4 tn Heb “mountain strongholds, cliffs [will be] his elevated place.”
5 tn The words “for the Lord’s help” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
6 tn Heb “they rise up [on] wings like eagles” (TEV similar).
7 tn Heb “to say.” In the Hebrew text the infinitive construct is subordinated to what precedes.
8 tn Heb “in darkness” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV); NLT “the prisoners of darkness.”
9 tn Heb “show yourselves” (so ASV, NAB, NASB).
10 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.
11 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.
12 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).
13 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).
14 tn Heb “for their worm will not die.”
15 tn Heb “and their fire will not be extinguished.”
16 tn Heb “and they will be an abhorrence to all flesh.”
sn This verse depicts a huge mass burial site where the seemingly endless pile of maggot-infested corpses are being burned.
