Study note

Setting — The LORD speaks in a prophetic declaration set against the coming shame of idol-makers (v.16), asserting Israel's deliverance as a counterpoint to their disgrace.

The words — תְּשׁוּעַת (t.shu.'At, H8668) is the noun form of the verb נוֹשַׁע already used in the same verse; the pairing of "saved" and "salvation" binds the act to its permanent result.

The thread — The formula "you will not be put to shame" recurs in Psalms 25:3, Isaiah 54:4, and is quoted in Romans 10:11, where it is tied to belief in Christ.

Why it lands — The verse is passive in its core verb: Israel "has been saved," not "will save itself." The reader is placed before a completed act of Yahweh, not a conditional promise.
