Isaiah 46:8
Remember this and be brave; take it to heart, you transgressors!
BSB
ASV
Remember this, and show yourselves men; bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
KJV
Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
Show yourselves men - התאששו hithoshashu. This word is rather of doubtful derivation and signification. It occurs only in this place: and some of the ancient interpreters seem to have had something different in their copies. The Vulgate read התבששו hithbosheshu, take shame to yourselves; the Syriac התבוננו hithbonenu, consider with yourselves; the Septuagint στεναξετε· perhaps התאבלו hithabbelu, groan or mourn, within yourselves. Several MSS. read התאוששו hithosheshu, but without any help to the sense.
In order to be manly we must be godly; for man was made "in the image of God," and only rises to his true dignity when joined to God; virtue is derived from the Latin vir, "a man." bring . . . to mind--rather, "lay it to heart." transgressors--addressed to the idolaters among the Jews.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
