# Isaiah 49 General Notes #
|
|
|
|
#### Structure and formatting ####
|
|
|
|
Some translations indent each line of poetry to make it easier to read. The ULB does this with the poetry in this chapter.
|
|
|
|
Many scholars believe that there are four songs or poems which Isaiah records about the messiah. Isaiah 49:1-6 is the second of these songs. They are often called the "servant songs" because they focus on the messiah being a servant. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/christ]])

|
#### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter ####
|
|
|
|
##### A day of salvation #####
|
|
It is unclear if this is a reference to the gospel proclaimed by the messiah or to the day of restoration of all things. The translator should not try to explain its reference to the reader. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/salvation]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/goodnews]], and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/restore]])
