Isaiah 45:14
Context45:14 This is what the Lord says:
“The profit 6 of Egypt and the revenue 7 of Ethiopia,
along with the Sabeans, those tall men,
will be brought to you 8 and become yours.
They will walk behind you, coming along in chains. 9
They will bow down to you
and pray to you: 10
‘Truly God is with 11 you; he has no peer; 12
there is no other God!’”
1 tn Heb “walks” (so NASB, NIV).
2 tn Or, possibly, “justly”; NAB “who practices virtue.”
3 tn Heb “[who] shakes off his hands from grabbing hold of a bribe.”
4 tn Heb “[who] shuts his ear from listening to bloodshed.”
5 tn Heb “[who] closes his eyes from seeing evil.”
6 tn Heb “labor,” which stands metonymically for the fruits of labor, either “monetary profit,” or “products.”
7 tn Or perhaps, “merchandise” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); NAB “the gain of Ethiopia”; CEV “the treasures of Ethiopia.”
8 tn Heb “they will pass over to you”; NASB, NIV “will come over to you”; CEV “will belong to you.”
9 sn Restored Israel is depicted here in typical ancient Near Eastern fashion as an imperial power that receives riches and slaves as tribute.
10 sn Israel’s vassals are portrayed as so intimidated and awed that they treat Israel as an intermediary to God or sub-deity.
11 tn Or perhaps, “among.” Cf. KJV, ASV “Surely God is in thee.”
12 tn Heb “there is no other” (so NIV, NRSV). The same phrase occurs at the end of v. 18, in v. 21, and at the end of v. 22.
