Yesaya 54:17

54:17 No weapon forged to be used against you will succeed;

you will refute everyone who tries to accuse you. ¹ 

This is what the Lord will do for his servants –

I will vindicate them,” ² 

says the Lord.

Yeremia 3:11

3:11 Then the Lord said to me, “Under the circumstances, wayward Israel could even be considered less guilty than unfaithful Judah. ³ 

Roma 2:27

2:27 And will not the physically uncircumcised man ⁴  who keeps the law judge you who, despite ⁵  the written code ⁶  and circumcision, transgress the law?

Ibrani 11:7

11:7 By faith Noah, when he was warned about things not yet seen, with reverent regard ⁷  constructed an ark for the deliverance of his family. Through faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

[54:17]  ¹ tn Heb “and every tongue that rises up for judgment with you will prove to be guilty.”

[54:17]  ² tn Heb “this is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and their vindication from me.”

[3:11]  ³ tn Heb “Wayward Israel has proven herself to be more righteous than unfaithful Judah.”

[3:11]  sn A comparison is drawn here between the greater culpability of Judah, who has had the advantage of seeing how God disciplined her sister nation for having sinned and yet ignored the warning and committed the same sin, and the culpability of Israel who had no such advantage.

[2:27]  ⁴ tn Grk “the uncircumcision by nature.” The word “man” is supplied here to make clear that male circumcision (or uncircumcision) is in view.

[2:27]  ⁵ tn Grk “through,” but here the preposition seems to mean “(along) with,” “though provided with,” as BDAG 224 s.v. διά A.3.c indicates.

[2:27]  ⁶ tn Grk “letter.”

[11:7]  ⁷ tn Cf. BDAG 407 s.v. εὐλαβέομαι 2, “out of reverent regard (for God’s command).”
