The Key Word — יָ֭בֹאוּ, Ya.vo.'ugenerated
The verb יָבֹאוּ (Ya.vo.'u) is a Qal imperfect form meaning 'they will come'. It signifies movement towards a destination, which in this case is the act of proclaiming God's righteousness. The verb's usage here suggests a future action, indicating that this proclamation is expected from generations not yet born.
This term connects to the root בּוֹא (bo), which encompasses a wide range of meanings related to coming or going. The use of this verb in the context of proclamation implies an active engagement with future generations, emphasizing the importance of sharing God's righteousness and justice.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The translations agree that the verse conveys the idea of future generations proclaiming God's righteousness.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse is structured around a main clause with the finite verb יָבֹאוּ (they will come) leading the statement. This verb is followed by a conjunction and another verb יַגִּידוּ (they may declare), which together express the action of the coming generations.
The noun phrase צִדְקָת֑וֹ (His righteousness) serves as the object of the declaration, while the prepositional phrase לְעַם (to a people) specifies to whom this righteousness will be proclaimed.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew verb יָבֹאוּ is rendered as σπέρμα (seed), indicating a focus on the descendants or lineage that will carry forth the message of God's righteousness. This choice emphasizes the continuity of God's covenant through generations.
The translation of יַגִּידוּ as ἀναγγελήσεται (will be proclaimed) suggests an authoritative declaration, reinforcing the importance of the message being shared.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text reads: יָ֭בֹאוּ וְיַגִּ֣ידוּ צִדְקָת֑וֹ לְעַ֥ם נ֝וֹלָ֗ד כִּ֣י עָשָֽׂה׃, which aligns closely with the Septuagint, where five out of seven words are matched. This consistency indicates a strong agreement between the two texts regarding the proclamation of God's righteousness.

Of these, in the Old Testament, `am, is overwhelmingly the most common (about 2,000 times), with le'om, and goy, next in order; but the various Hebrew words are used with very little or no difference in force (e.g. Pr 14:28; but, on the other hand, in Ps 44 contrast verses 12 and 14). Of the changes introduced by the Revised Version (British and American) the only one of significance (cited explicitly in the Preface to the English Revised Version) is the frequent use of the plural "peoples" (strangely avoided in the King James Version except Re 10:11; 17:15), where other nations than Israel are in question.
