Isaiah 41:21

Context
The Lord Challenges the Pagan Gods

41:21 “Present your argument,” says the Lord.

“Produce your evidence,” 4  says Jacob’s king. 5 

1 tn Or “islands” (NIV, CEV); NCV “faraway places”; NLT “lands beyond the sea.”

2 tn Heb “the ends of the earth,” but this is a merism, where the earth’s extremities stand for its entirety, i.e., the extremities and everything in between them.

3 tn Heb “each his neighbor helps”; NCV “The workers help each other.”

4 tn Heb “strong [words],” see HALOT 870 s.v. *עֲצֻמוֹת.

5 sn Apparently this challenge is addressed to the pagan idol gods, see vv. 23-24.
