2 Tawarikh 28:9
Konteks28:9 Oded, a prophet of the Lord, was there. He went to meet the army as they arrived in Samaria and said to them: “Look, because the Lord God of your ancestors was angry with Judah he handed them over to you. You have killed them so mercilessly that God has taken notice. 1
Ayub 42:6
Konteks42:6 Therefore I despise myself, 2
and I repent in dust and ashes!
Mazmur 38:5
Konteks38:5 My wounds 3 are infected and starting to smell, 4
because of my foolish sins. 5
Yesaya 59:12
Konteks59:12 For you are aware of our many rebellious deeds, 6
and our sins testify against us;
indeed, we are aware of our rebellious deeds;
we know our sins all too well. 7
Yeremia 3:25
Konteks3:25 Let us acknowledge 8 our shame.
Let us bear the disgrace that we deserve. 9
For we have sinned against the Lord our God,
both we and our ancestors.
From earliest times to this very day
we have not obeyed the Lord our God.’
[28:9] 1 tn Heb “and you killed them with anger [that] reaches as far as heaven.”
[42:6] 2 tn Or “despise what I said.” There is no object on the verb; Job could be despising himself or the things he said (see L. J. Kuyper, “Repentance of Job,” VT 9 [1959]: 91-94).
[38:5] 3 sn The reference to wounds may be an extension of the metaphorical language of v. 2. The psalmist pictures himself as one whose flesh is ripped and torn by arrows.
[38:5] 4 tn Heb “my wounds stink, they are festering” (cf. NEB).
[38:5] 5 tn Heb “from before my foolishness.”
[59:12] 6 tn Heb “for many are our rebellious deeds before you.”
[59:12] 7 tn Heb “indeed [or “for”] our rebellious deeds (are) with us, and our sins, we know them.”
