Yesaya 45:3
Konteks45:3 I will give you hidden treasures, 1
riches stashed away in secret places,
so you may recognize that I am the Lord,
the one who calls you by name, the God of Israel.
Yehezkiel 22:27
Konteks22:27 Her officials are like wolves in her midst rending their prey – shedding blood and destroying lives – so they can get dishonest profit.
Habakuk 2:9
Konteks2:9 The one who builds his house by unjust gain is as good as dead. 2
He does this so he can build his nest way up high
and escape the clutches of disaster. 3
[45:3] 1 tn Heb “treasures of darkness” (KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “treasures from dark, secret places.”
[2:9] 2 tn Heb “Woe [to] the one who profits unjustly by evil unjust gain for his house.” On the term הוֹי (hoy) see the note on the word “dead” in v. 6.
[2:9] 3 tn Heb “to place his nest in the heights in order to escape from the hand of disaster.”
[2:9] sn Here the Babylonians are compared to a bird, perhaps an eagle, that builds its nest in an inaccessible high place where predators cannot reach it.
