Isaiah 48:9

And for my praise "And for the sake of my praise" - I read תהלתי ולמען ulemaan tehillathi . The word למען lemaan , though not absolutely necessary here, for it may be understood as supplied from the preceding member, yet seems to have been removed from hence to Isaiah 48:11 ; where it is redundant, and where it is not repeated in the Septuagint, Syriac, and a MS. I have therefore omitted it in the latter place, and added it here.
