3:5 The people will treat each other harshly;
men will oppose each other;
neighbors will fight. 1
Youths will proudly defy the elderly
and riffraff will challenge those who were once respected. 2
49:25 Indeed,” says the Lord,
“captives will be taken from a warrior;
spoils will be rescued from a conqueror.
I will oppose your adversary
and I will rescue your children.
1 tn Heb “man against man, and a man against his neighbor.”
2 tn Heb “and those lightly esteemed those who are respected.” The verb רָהַב (rahav) does double duty in the parallelism.
