20:6 I grabbed hold of my concubine and carved her up and sent the pieces ¹  throughout the territory occupied by Israel, ²  because they committed such an unthinkable atrocity ³  in Israel. 20:7 All you Israelites, ⁴  make a decision here!” ⁵ 

Roma 10:2

10:2 For I can testify that they are zealous for God, ⁶  but their zeal is not in line with the truth. ⁷ 

[20:6]  ¹ tn Heb “her”; the referent is more naturally stated in English as “the pieces.”

[20:6]  ² tn Heb “throughout all the territory of the inheritance of Israel.”

[20:6]  ³ tn Heb “a wicked and disgraceful [thing].”

[20:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “Look, all of you sons of Israel.”

[20:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “give for yourselves a word and advice here.”

[10:2]  ⁶ tn Grk “they have a zeal for God.”

[10:2]  ⁷ tn Grk “in accord with knowledge.”

[10:2]  sn Their zeal is not in line with the truth means that the Jews’ passion for God was strong, but it ignored the true righteousness of God (v. 3; cf. also 3:21).
