Isaiah 43:14-15
New English Translation
The Lord Will Do Something New
14 This is what the Lord says,
your Protector,[a] the Holy One of Israel:[b]
“For your sake I send to Babylon
and make them all fugitives,[c]
turning the Babylonians’ joyful shouts into mourning songs.[d]
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One,[e]
the one who created Israel, your king.”

- Isaiah 43:14 tn Or “kinsman redeemer.” See the note at 41:14.
- Isaiah 43:14 sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.
- Isaiah 43:14 tn Heb “and I bring down [as] fugitives all of them.”
- Isaiah 43:14 tn The Hebrew text reads literally, “as for the Babylonians, in ships their joyful shout.” This might be paraphrased, “even the Babylonians in the ships [over which] they joyfully shouted.” The point would be that the Lord caused the Babylonians to flee for safety in the ships in which they took such great pride. A slight change in vocalization yields the reading “into mourning songs,” which provides a good contrast with “joyful shout.” The prefixed bet (בְּ) would indicate identity.
- Isaiah 43:15 sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.
