Hakim-hakim 9:16

9:16 “Now, if you have shown loyalty and integrity when you made Abimelech king, if you have done right to Jerub-Baal and his family, ¹  if you have properly repaid him ²  –

Yesaya 33:1

The Lord Will Restore Zion

33:1 The destroyer is as good as dead, ³ 

you who have not been destroyed!

The deceitful one is as good as dead, ⁴ 

the one whom others have not deceived!

When you are through destroying, you will be destroyed;

when you finish ⁵  deceiving, others will deceive you!

Matius 7:2

7:2 For by the standard you judge you will be judged, and the measure you use will be the measure you receive. ⁶ 

[9:16]  ¹ tn Heb “house.”

[9:16]  ² tn Heb “if according to the deeds of his hands you have done to him.”

[33:1]  ³ tn Heb “Woe [to] the destroyer.”

[33:1]  sn In this context “the destroyer” appears to refer collectively to the hostile nations (vv. 3-4). Assyria would probably have been primary in the minds of the prophet and his audience.

[33:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the deceitful one”; NAB, NIV “O traitor”; NRSV “you treacherous one.” In the parallel structure הוֹי (hoy, “woe [to]”) does double duty.

[33:1]  ⁵ tc The form in the Hebrew text appears to derive from an otherwise unattested verb נָלָה (nalah). The translation follows the Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a in reading ככלתך, a Piel infinitival form from the verbal root כָּלָה (kalah), meaning “finish.”

[7:2]  ⁶ tn Grk “by [the measure] with which you measure it will be measured to you.”
