49:2He made my mouth like a sharp sword,
he hid me in the hollow of his hand;
he made me like a sharpened4 arrow,
he hid me in his quiver.5
Footnotes
- 4 Or perhaps, “polished” (so , , , , ); “a select arrow.”
- 5 The figurative language emphasizes the servant’s importance as the Lord’s effective instrument. The servant’s mouth, which stands metonymically for his words, is compared to a sharp sword because he will be an effective spokesman on God’s behalf (see 50:4). The Lord holds his hand on the servant, ready to draw and use him at the appropriate time. The servant is like a sharpened arrow reserved in a quiver for just the right moment.
