1 | Which version preference for Isa 48:14? | Is 48:12 | Ray | 13676 | ||
I have written before on this Forum about how the Hebrew Old Testament can "hide" the full meaning of sentence. In other words, because all the letters are capitalized we don't know who is speaking or being spoken of in some instances. Sometimes in English, we don't know in a similar way because the word is the beginning of a sentence. We don't know then if it is speaking of Deity or not. By the choice of the sentence structure and "style" of the NKJ and NASB which both capitalize Deity, they force us at times to decide for ourselves if the word is to be capitalized "in our minds." My question here is an example of this. Which version do you prefer for the full (or correct) understanding of Isaiah 48:14,15? NASB: Isaiah 48:14,15 "Assemble, all of you, and listen! Who among them has declared these things? The Lord loves him; he will carry out His good pleasure on Babylon, And His arm will be against the Chaldeans. I, even I, have spoken; indeed I have called him, I have brought him, and He will make his ways successful." NKJ: Isaiah 48:14,15 "All of you, assemble yourselves and hear! Who among them has declared these things? The Lord loves him; He shall do His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm shall be against the Chaldeans. I, even I, have called him, I have brought him, and his way will prosper." |

I like the NKJ version it has always been clear for me. However I do use other versions to compare. | ||||||
3 | Which version preference for Isa 48:14? | Is 48:12 | Ray | 13723 | ||
Hi WELIVE12, I like the NKJ version and find it to be clear for me also. Do you find the NASB as clear here in this passage? Do you think that it is saying the exact same things? I think that it is a very good practice to compare versions. | ||||||

Yes,I find that NASB is as clear on this passage as the NKJ. OH, yes you can not miss it. There are one or two word diffences but they are saying the same thing. |
