1 Samuel 14:27

14:27 But Jonathan had not heard about the oath his father had made the army take. He extended the end of his staff that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb. When he ate it, ¹  his eyes gleamed. ² 

Yudas 1:19

1:19 These people are divisive, ³  worldly, ⁴  devoid of the Spirit. ⁵ 

Yesaya 40:29-31

40:29 He gives strength to those who are tired;

to the ones who lack power, he gives renewed energy.

40:30 Even youths get tired and weary;

even strong young men clumsily stumble. ⁶ 

40:31 But those who wait for the Lord’s help ⁷  find renewed strength;

they rise up as if they had eagles’ wings, ⁸ 

they run without growing weary,

they walk without getting tired.

[14:27]  ¹ tn Heb “and he returned his hand to his mouth.”

[14:27]  ² tc The translation follows the Qere and several medieval Hebrew mss in reading “gleamed,” rather than the Kethib, “saw.”

[1:19]  ³ tn Grk “these are the ones who cause divisions.”

[1:19]  ⁴ tn Or “natural,” that is, living on the level of instincts, not on a spiritual level (the same word occurs in 1 Cor 2:14 as a description of nonbelievers).

[1:19]  ⁵ tn Grk “not having [the] Spirit.”

[1:19]  sn The phrase devoid of the Spirit may well indicate Jude’s and Peter’s assessment of the spiritual status of the false teachers. Those who do not have the Spirit are clearly not saved.

[40:30]  ⁶ tn Heb “stumbling they stumble.” The verbal idea is emphasized by the infinitive absolute.

[40:31]  ⁷ tn The words “for the Lord’s help” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[40:31]  ⁸ tn Heb “they rise up [on] wings like eagles” (TEV similar).
