[89:32]  ¹ tn Heb “I will punish with a club their rebellion.”

[89:32]  sn Despite the harsh image of beating…with a club, the language reflects a father-son relationship (see v. 30; 2 Sam 7:14). According to Proverbs, a שֵׁבֶט (shevet, “club”) was sometimes utilized to administer corporal punishment to rebellious children (see Prov 13:24; 22:15; 23:13-14; 29:15).

[89:32]  ² tn Heb “with blows their sin.”

[3:19]  ³ tn The Greek pronoun ὅσος (Josos) means “as many as” and can be translated “All those” or “Everyone.”
