Ulangan 29:28

29:28 So the Lord has uprooted them from their land in anger, wrath, and great rage and has deported them to another land, as is clear today.”

Ayub 40:7

40:7 “Get ready for a difficult task ¹  like a man.

I will question you and you will inform me!

Yesaya 22:19

22:19 I will remove you from ²  your office;

you will be thrown down ³  from your position.

Yehezkiel 17:24

17:24 All the trees of the field will know that I am the Lord.

I make the high tree low; I raise up the low tree.

I make the green tree wither, and I make the dry tree sprout.

I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do it!’”

[40:7]  ¹ tn See note on “task” in 38:3.

[22:19]  ² tn Heb “I will push you away from.”

[22:19]  ³ tn Heb “he will throw you down.” The shift from the first to third person is peculiar and abrupt, but certainly not unprecedented in Hebrew poetry. See GKC 462 §144.p. The third person may be indefinite (“one will throw you down”), in which case the passive translation is justified.
