Ulangan 32:35

32:35 I will get revenge and pay them back

at the time their foot slips;

for the day of their disaster is near,

and the impending judgment ¹  is rushing upon them!”

Ulangan 32:2

32:2 My teaching will drop like the rain,

my sayings will drip like the dew, ² 

as rain drops upon the grass,

and showers upon new growth.

1 Raja-raja 9:7

9:7 then I will remove Israel from the land ³  I have given them, I will abandon this temple I have consecrated with my presence, ⁴  and Israel will be mocked and ridiculed ⁵  among all the nations.

Mazmur 18:48

18:48 He delivers me ⁶  from my enemies;

you snatch me away ⁷  from those who attack me; ⁸ 

you rescue me from violent men.

[32:35]  ¹ tn Heb “prepared things,” “impending things.” See BDB 800 s.v. עָתִיד.

[32:2]  ² tn Or “mist,” “light drizzle.” In some contexts the term appears to refer to light rain, rather than dew.

[9:7]  ³ tn Heb “I will cut off Israel from upon the surface of the land.”

[9:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the temple which I consecrated for my name I will send away from before my face.”

[9:7]  sn Instead of “I will send away,” the parallel text in 2 Chr 7:20 has “I will throw away.” The two verbs sound very similar in Hebrew, so the discrepancy is likely due to an oral transmissional error.

[9:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “will become a proverb and a taunt,” that is, a proverbial example of destruction and an object of reproach.

[18:48]  ⁶ tn Heb “[the one who] delivers me.” 2 Sam 22:49 reads “and [the one who] brings me out.”

[18:48]  ⁷ tn Heb “lifts me up.” In light of the preceding and following references to deliverance, the verb רום probably here refers to being rescued from danger (see Ps 9:13). However, it could mean “exalt, elevate” here, indicating that the Lord has given the psalmist victory over his enemies and forced them to acknowledge the psalmist’s superiority (cf. NIV, NRSV).

[18:48]  ⁸ tn Heb “from those who rise against me.”
