TSNTyndale Study Notes:

41:1 The nations coming together for a trial have to listen in silence to the presentation of God’s arguments.
• Bring your strongest arguments: Literally let them find new strength, a play on 40:31.
• God invited the nations to come . . . and speak, challenging them to refute his case.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) Listen before me in silence

(Some words not found in UHB: listen_~_insilence to=me coastlands and,peoples renew strength approach then speak together for_the,judgment draw_near )

Here “me” refers to God.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) you coastlands

(Some words not found in UHB: listen_~_insilence to=me coastlands and,peoples renew strength approach then speak together for_the,judgment draw_near )

This refers to the people who live on the islands and in the lands bordering or beyond the Mediterranean Sea. (See also: figs-apostrophe)

(Occurrence 0) renew their strength

(Some words not found in UHB: listen_~_insilence to=me coastlands and,peoples renew strength approach then speak together for_the,judgment draw_near )

See how you translated this phrase in Isaiah 40:31.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Occurrence 0) let them come near and speak; let us come near together to argue a dispute

(Some words not found in UHB: listen_~_insilence to=me coastlands and,peoples renew strength approach then speak together for_the,judgment draw_near )

These two phrases share similar meanings. The second explains the reason for the first. Alternate translation: “then let them come near so they may speak and reason with me”
