19:7 “If 1 I cry out, 2 ‘Violence!’ 3
I receive no answer; 4
I cry for help,
but there is no justice.
27:13 This is the portion of the wicked man
allotted by God, 5
the inheritance that evildoers receive
from the Almighty.
35:7 If you are righteous, what do you give to God,
or what does he receive from your hand?
1 tn The particle is used here as in 9:11 (see GKC 497 §159.w).
2 tc The LXX has “I laugh at reproach.”
3 tn The same idea is expressed in Jer 20:8 and Hab 1:2. The cry is a cry for help, that he has been wronged, that there is no justice.
4 tn The Niphal is simply “I am not answered.” See Prov 21:13b.
5 tn The expression “allotted by God” interprets the simple prepositional phrase in the text: “with/from God.”
