Discovery BoxIsaiah 41:19-20 
Context41:19 I will make cedars, acacias, myrtles, and olive trees grow in the wilderness;
I will make evergreens, firs, and cypresses grow together in the desert.
41:20 I will do this so 1 people 2 will observe and recognize,
so they will pay attention and understand
that the Lord’s power 3 has accomplished this,
and that the Holy One of Israel has brought it into being.” 4
1 tn The words “I will do this” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The Hebrew text has here simply, “in order that.”
2 tn Heb “they”; NAB, NRSV “that all may see”; CEV, NLT “Everyone will see.”
3 tn Heb “hand” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV).
4 tn Or “created it” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “has made it happen.”
