Isaiah 7:11

Context
7:11 “Ask for a confirming sign from the Lord your God. You can even ask for something miraculous.” 1 

Isaiah 48:11

Context

48:11 For my sake alone 2  I will act,

for how can I allow my name to be defiled? 3 

I will not share my glory with anyone else! 4 

1 tn Heb “Make it as deep as Sheol or make it high upwards.” These words suggest that Ahaz can feel free to go beyond the bounds of ordinary human experience.

2 tn The Hebrew text repeats לְמַעֲנִי (lÿmaani, “for my sake”) for emphasis.

3 tn The Hebrew text reads literally, “for how can it be defiled?” The subject of the verb is probably “name” (v. 9).

4 sn See 42:8.
