Ken, 
 
I believe you've corrected me well. If "merit" is indeed correct, could we 
see shades of a "martyrdom theology" when this word is combined with 
"perish"? When I compare the MT, the OG, and these fragments of Targumim, I 
see three distinctly different emphases regarding Is 1:27. Jon Henry
