1 Samuel 12:24
Konteks12:24 However, fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. Just look at the great things he has done for you!
Yesaya 22:12-13
Konteks22:12 At that time the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies, called for weeping and mourning,
for shaved heads and sackcloth. 1
22:13 But look, there is outright celebration! 2
You say, “Kill the ox and slaughter the sheep,
eat meat and drink wine.
Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!” 3
Yeremia 2:19
Konteks2:19 Your own wickedness will bring about your punishment.
Your unfaithful acts will bring down discipline on you. 4
Know, then, and realize how utterly harmful 5
it was for you to reject me, the Lord your God, 6
to show no respect for me,” 7
says the Lord God who rules over all. 8
Hosea 11:7
Konteks11:7 My people are obsessed 9 with turning away from me; 10
they call to Baal, 11 but he will never exalt them!
Yohanes 5:37-38
Konteks5:37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You people 12 have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time, 13 5:38 nor do you have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the one whom he sent.
Roma 2:4
Konteks2:4 Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know 14 that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?
[22:12] 1 tn Heb “for baldness and the wearing of sackcloth.” See the note at 15:2.
[22:13] 2 tn Heb “happiness and joy.”
[22:13] 3 tn The prophet here quotes what the fatalistic people are saying. The introductory “you say” is supplied in the translation for clarification; the concluding verb “we die” makes it clear the people are speaking. The six verbs translated as imperatives are actually infinitives absolute, functioning here as finite verbs.
[2:19] 4 tn Or “teach you a lesson”; Heb “rebuke/chide you.”
[2:19] 5 tn Heb “how evil and bitter.” The reference is to the consequences of their acts. This is a figure of speech (hendiadys) where two nouns or adjectives joined by “and” introduce a main concept modified by the other noun or adjective.
[2:19] 6 tn Heb “to leave the
[2:19] 7 tn Heb “and no fear of me was on you.”
[2:19] 8 tn Heb “the Lord Yahweh, [the God of] hosts.” For the title Lord
[11:7] 9 tn The term תְלוּאִים (tÿlu’im, Qal passive participle masculine plural from תָּלָא, tala’, “to hang”) literally means “[My people] are hung up” (BDB 1067 s.v. תָּלָא). The verb תָּלָא//תָּלָה (“to hang”) is often used in a concrete sense to describe hanging an item on a peg (Ps 137:2; Song 4:4; Isa 22:24; Ezek 15:3; 27:10) or the impaling of the body of an executed criminal (Gen 40:19, 22; 41:13; Deut 21:22, 23; Josh 8:29; 10:26; 2 Sam 21:12; Esth 2:23; 5:14; 6:4; 7:9, 10; 8:7; 9:13, 14, 25). It is used figuratively here to describe Israel’s moral inability to detach itself from apostasy. Several English versions capture the sense well: “My people are bent on turning away from me” (RSV, NASB), “My people are determined to turn from me” (NIV), “My people are determined to reject me” (CEV; NLT “desert me”), “My people persist in its defection from me” (NJPS), and “they insist on turning away from me” (TEV).
[11:7] 10 tn The 1st person common singular suffix on the noun מְשׁוּבָתִי (mÿshuvati; literally, “turning of me”) functions as an objective genitive: “turning away from me.”
[11:7] 11 tc The meaning and syntax of the MT is enigmatic: וְאֶל־עַל יִקְרָאֻהוּ (vÿ’el-’al yiqra’uhu, “they call upwards to him”). Many English versions including KJV, NIV, NRSV, NLT take the referent of “him” as the “most High.” The BHS editors suggest reading וְאֶל־בַּעַל יִקְרָא וְהוּא (vÿ’el-ba’al yiqra’ vehu’, “they call to Baal, but he…”), connecting the 3rd person masculine singular independent personal pronoun וְהוּא (vÿhu’, “but he…”) with the following clause. The early Greek recensions (Aquila and Symmachus), as well as the Aramaic Targum and the Vulgate, vocalized עֹל (’ol) as “yoke” (as in 11:4): “they cry out because of [their] yoke” (a reading followed by TEV).
[5:37] 12 tn The word “people” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied to clarify that the following verbs (“heard,” “seen,” “have residing,” “do not believe”) are second person plural.
[5:37] 13 sn You people have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time. Compare Deut 4:12. Also see Deut 5:24 ff., where the Israelites begged to hear the voice no longer – their request (ironically) has by this time been granted. How ironic this would be if the feast is Pentecost, where by the 1st century
