13:18 Their arrows will cut young men to ribbons; 1
they have no compassion on a person’s offspring, 2
they will not 3 look with pity on children.
14:20 You will not be buried with them, 4
because you destroyed your land
and killed your people.
The offspring of the wicked
will never be mentioned again.
57:4 At whom are you laughing?
At whom are you opening your mouth
and sticking out your tongue?
You are the children of rebels,
the offspring of liars, 5
61:9 Their descendants will be known among the nations,
their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will recognize that
the Lord has blessed them.” 6
1 tn Heb “and bows cut to bits young men.” “Bows” stands by metonymy for arrows.
2 tn Heb “the fruit of the womb.”
3 tn Heb “their eye does not.” Here “eye” is a metonymy for the whole person.
4 tn Heb “you will not be united with them in burial” (so NASB).
5 tn Heb “Are you not children of rebellion, offspring of a lie?” The rhetorical question anticipates the answer, “Of course you are!”
6 tn Heb “all who see them will recognize them, that they [are] descendants [whom] the Lord has blessed.”
