Yesaya 57:11

57:11 Whom are you worried about?

Whom do you fear, that you would act so deceitfully

and not remember me

or think about me? ¹ 

Because I have been silent for so long, ² 

you are not afraid of me. ³ 

Maleakhi 2:2

2:2 If you do not listen and take seriously ⁴  the need to honor my name,” says the Lord who rules over all, “I will send judgment ⁵  on you and turn your blessings into curses – indeed, I have already done so because you are not taking it to heart.

[57:11]  ¹ tn Heb “you do not place [it] on your heart.”

[57:11]  ² tn Heb “Is it not [because] I have been silent, and from long ago?”

[57:11]  ³ sn God’s patience with sinful Israel has caused them to think that they can sin with impunity and suffer no consequences.

[2:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “and if you do not place upon [the] heart”; KJV, NAB, NRSV “lay it to heart.”

[2:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “the curse” (so NASB, NRSV); NLT “a terrible curse.”
