Discovery BoxIsaiah 30:29 
Context30:29 You will sing
as you do in the evening when you are celebrating a festival.
You will be happy like one who plays a flute
as he goes to the mountain of the Lord, the Rock who shelters Israel. 1
Isaiah 42:10
Context42:10 Sing to the Lord a brand new song!
Praise him 2 from the horizon of the earth,
you who go down to the sea, and everything that lives in it, 3
you coastlands 4 and those who live there!
1 tn Heb “[you will have] joy of heart, like the one going with a flute to enter the mountain of the Lord to the Rock of Israel.” The image here is not a foundational rock, but a rocky cliff where people could hide for protection (for example, the fortress of Masada).
2 tn Heb “his praise.” The phrase stands parallel to “new song” in the previous line.
3 tn Heb “and its fullness”; NASB, NIV “and all that is in it.”
4 tn Or “islands” (NASB, NIV); NLT “distant coastlands.”
