The word “Behold, my servant will deal wisely”
보라 내 종이 형통하리니 하는 여호와의 말씀
Isaiah 52:13–15: the text says, “Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will be very high. Just as many were astonished at you— his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men— so he will cleanse many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him; for they will see that which had not been told them, and they will understand that which they had not heard.” WEB has no word in these verses that the LORD speaks. The Korean Revised Version opens 52:13 with 여호와께서 가라사대, the LORD said, and closes 52:15 with 하시니라. The text does not say who “my servant” of 52:13 is. At 52:14 the Korean Revised Version reads 무리가 그를 보고 놀랐거니와, many were astonished at him, where WEB reads “at you”; it reads 이왕에는, formerly, at 52:14 and 후에는, afterward, at 52:15, where WEB reads “Just as” and “so”; and at 52:15 it reads 그가 열방을 놀랠 것이며, he will startle the nations, where WEB reads “he will cleanse many nations”.
