22:18 He will wind you up tightly into a ball
and throw you into a wide, open land. 1
There you will die,
and there with you will be your impressive chariots, 2
which bring disgrace to the house of your master. 3
28:6 He will give discernment to the one who makes judicial decisions,
and strength to those who defend the city from attackers. 4
1 tn Heb “and he will tightly [or “surely”] wind you [with] winding like a ball, to a land broad of hands [i.e., “sides”].”
2 tn Heb “and there the chariots of your splendor.”
3 sn Apparently the reference to chariots alludes to Shebna’s excessive pride, which in turn brings disgrace to the royal family.
4 tn Heb “and [he will become] a spirit of justice for the one who sits [i.e., presides] over judgment, // and strength [for] the ones who turn back battle at the city gate.” The Lord will provide internal stability and national security.
