32:4 As for the Rock, 1 his work is perfect,
for all his ways are just.
He is a reliable God who is never unjust,
he is fair 2 and upright.
32:31 For our enemies’ 3 rock is not like our Rock,
as even our enemies concede.
1 tc The LXX reads Θεός (qeos, “God”) for the MT’s “Rock.”
sn The Hebrew term depicts God as a rocky summit where one may find safety and protection. Within a covenantal context it serves as a reminder to the people that their God has committed himself to their protection in return for their allegiance.
2 tn Or “just” (KJV, NAB, NRSV, NLT) or “righteous” (NASB).
3 tn Heb “their,” but the referent (enemies) is specified in the translation for the sake of clarity.
