Isaiah 51:11

happiness and joy will overwhelm[b] them;
grief and suffering will disappear.[c]
Footnotes
- Isaiah 51:11 tn Heb “[will be] on their head[s].” “Joy” may be likened here to a crown (cf. 2 Sam 1:10). The statement may also be an ironic twist on the idiom “earth/dust on the head” (cf. 2 Sam 1:2; 13:19; 15:32; Job 2:12), referring to a mourning practice.
- Isaiah 51:11 tn Heb “overtake” (so NIV); NASB “they will obtain.”
- Isaiah 51:11 tn Heb “grief and groaning will flee.”
