TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Trusting God in Isaiah

The prophet Isaiah saw that mere humans prove untrustworthy (Isa 2:22). When in distress, the people of Judah often sought help from other nations (e.g., Egypt or Assyria), but Isaiah pointed out that Judah’s success and security was based upon their trust in God (see 8:9-17). King Hezekiah was mocked by the Assyrian army for trusting in God, yet it was that very trust that led to a great victory for God’s people (36:1–37:37).

Those who trust in the Lord live in awe of him (29:23) and are not afraid (see 35:4), knowing that the Lord will be with them (51:12). They respond in praise because they trust in him (12:1-2; 25:9), and they express their trust through obedience to him (26:8). The faithful might feel the effects of God’s judgment on his enemies as they await the Lord’s salvation. Yet they find new strength day by day (40:31) and see themselves ultimately as citizens of God’s city, Zion (see 26:1-3). Those who trust in the Lord have true and lasting inner peace (26:3, 12; 32:17-18).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) Form a plan, but it will not be carried out; issue the command, but it will not be carried out

(Some words not found in UHB: devise counsel and,thwarted speak word and=not stand that/for/because/then/when with,us god )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “You can prepare to attack Judah, but you will not succeed”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) it will not be carried out … it will not be carried out

(Some words not found in UHB: devise counsel and,thwarted speak word and=not stand that/for/because/then/when with,us god )

To “carry out” a plan or command is to do what the person who makes the plan or command wants the hearer to do. These clauses can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: “you will not be able to do what you plan to do … your soldiers will not be able to do what their commanders tell them to do”
