Isaiah 37:20

Context
37:20 Now, O Lord our God, rescue us from his power, so all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord.” 1 

Isaiah 38:16

Context

38:16 O sovereign master, your decrees can give men life;

may years of life be restored to me. 2 

Restore my health 3  and preserve my life.’

Isaiah 64:2

Context

64:2 (64:1) As when fire ignites dry wood,

or fire makes water boil,

let your adversaries know who you are, 4 

and may the nations shake at your presence!

1 tn The parallel text in 2 Kgs 19:19 reads, “that you, Lord, are the only God.”

2 tn The translation offered here is purely speculative. The text as it stands is meaningless and probably corrupt. It reads literally, “O lord, on account of them [the suffix is masculine plural], they live, and to all in them [the suffix is feminine plural], life of my spirit.”

3 tn The prefixed verbal form could be taken as indicative, “you restore my health,” but the following imperatival form suggests it be understood as an imperfect of request.

4 tn Heb “to make known your name to your adversaries.” Perhaps the infinitive construct with preposition -לְ (lamed) should be construed with “come down” in v. 1a, or subordinated to the following line: “To make known your name to your adversaries, let the nations shake from before you.”
