Yehezkiel 38:1

A Prophecy Against Gog

38:1 The word of the Lord came to me:

Kisah Para Rasul 4:25

4:25 who said by the Holy Spirit through ³  your servant David our forefather, ⁴ 

‘Why do the nations ⁵  rage, ⁶ 

and the peoples plot foolish ⁷  things?

Amsal 14:26

14:26 In the fear of the Lord one has ⁸  strong confidence, ⁹ 

and it will be a refuge ¹⁰  for his children.

[38:11]  ¹ tn Heb “go up against.”

[38:11]  ² tn Heb “come (to).”

[4:25]  ³ tn Grk “by the mouth of” (an idiom).

[4:25]  ⁴ tn Or “ancestor”; Grk “father.”

[4:25]  ⁵ tn Or “Gentiles.”

[4:25]  ⁶ sn The Greek word translated rage includes not only anger but opposition, both verbal and nonverbal. See L&N 88.185.

[4:25]  ⁷ tn Or “futile”; traditionally, “vain.”

[14:26]  ⁸ tn Heb “In the fear of the Lord [is] confidence of strength.” The phrase “one has” does not appear in the Hebrew but is supplied in the translation for the sake of smoothness.

[14:26]  ⁹ tn Heb “confidence of strength.” This construct phrase features an attributive genitive: “strong confidence” (so most English versions; NIV “a secure fortress”).

[14:26]  ¹⁰ sn The fear of the Lord will not only provide security for the parent but will also be a refuge for children. The line recalls Exod 20:5-6 where children will reap the benefits of the righteous parents. The line could also be read as “he [= God] will be a refuge for the children.”
