Isaiah 45:3

Context

45:3 I will give you hidden treasures, 1 

riches stashed away in secret places,

so you may recognize that I am the Lord,

the one who calls you by name, the God of Israel.

Isaiah 45:19

Context

45:19 I have not spoken in secret,

in some hidden place. 2 

I did not tell Jacob’s descendants,

‘Seek me in vain!’ 3 

I am the Lord,

the one who speaks honestly,

who makes reliable announcements. 4 

1 tn Heb “treasures of darkness” (KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “treasures from dark, secret places.”

2 tn Heb “in a place of a land of darkness” (ASV similar); NASB “in some dark land.”

3 tn “In vain” translates תֹהוּ (tohu), used here as an adverbial accusative: “for nothing.”

4 tn The translation above assumes that צֶדֶק (tsedeq) and מֵישָׁרִים (mesharim) are adverbial accusatives (see 33:15). If they are taken as direct objects, indicating the content of what is spoken, one might translate, “who proclaims deliverance, who announces justice.”
