[33:10]  ¹ tn Or “lift myself up” (KJV); NLT “show my power and might.”

[2:11]  ² tn Heb “and the eyes of the pride of men will be brought low, and the arrogance of men will be brought down.” The repetition of the verbs שָׁפַל (shafal) and שָׁחָח (shakhakh) from v. 9 draws attention to the appropriate nature of the judgment. Those proud men who “bow low” before idols will be forced to “bow low” before God when he judges their sin.

[2:11]  ³ tn Or “elevated”; CEV “honored.”

[2:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the pride of men will be brought down, and the arrogance of men will be brought low.” As in v. 11, the repetition of the verbs שָׁפַל (shafal) and שָׁחָח (shakhakh) from v. 9 draws attention to the appropriate nature of the judgment. Those proud men who “bow low” before idols will be forced to “bow low” before God when he judges their sin.

[2:17]  ⁵ tn Or “elevated”; NCV “praised”; CEV “honored.”

[12:4]  ⁶ tn Or “in that day” (KJV).

[12:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “call in his name,” i.e., “invoke his name.”

[12:4]  ⁸ tn Heb “bring to remembrance that his name is exalted.” The Lord’s “name” stands here for his character and reputation.

[37:20]  ⁹ tn The parallel text in 2 Kgs 19:19 reads, “that you, Lord, are the only God.”
