8:12“Do not say, ‘Conspiracy,’ every time these people say the word.22
Don’t be afraid of what scares them; don’t be terrified.
8:13You must recognize the authority of the Lord who commands armies.23
He is the one you must respect;
he is the one you must fear.24
Footnotes
- 22 Heb “Do not say, ‘Conspiracy,’ with respect to all which these people say, ‘Conspiracy.’ ” The verb translated “do not say” is second masculine plural, indicating that this exhortation is directed to Isaiah and other followers of the Lord (see v. 16). The background of this command is uncertain. Perhaps the “conspiracy” in view is the alliance between Israel and Syria. Some of the people may even have thought that individuals in Judah were plotting with Israel and Syria to overthrow the king.
- 23 Heb “the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts], him you must set apart.” The word order is emphatic, with the object being placed first.
- 24 Heb “he is your [object of] fear, he is your [object of] terror.” The roots יָרֵא (yare’) and עָרַץ (’arats) are repeated from v. 12b.
