Isaiah 30:18
New English Translation
The Lord Will Not Abandon His People
18 For this reason the Lord is ready to show you mercy;
he sits on his throne, ready to have compassion on you.[a]
Indeed, the Lord is a just God;
all who wait for him in faith will be blessed.[b]
Footnotes
- Isaiah 30:18 tn Heb “Therefore the Lord waits to show you mercy, and therefore he is exalted to have compassion on you.” The logical connection between this verse and what precedes is problematic. The point seems to be that Judah’s impending doom does not bring God joy. Rather the prospect of their suffering stirs within him a willingness to show mercy and compassion, if they are willing to seek him on his terms.
- Isaiah 30:18 tn Heb “Blessed are all who wait for him.”
