34:10 “Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. 1
Far be it from 2 God to do wickedness,
from the Almighty to do evil.
37:4 After that a voice roars;
he thunders with an exalted voice,
and he does not hold back his lightning bolts 3
when his voice is heard.
1 tn Heb “men of heart.” The “heart” is used for the capacity to understand and make the proper choice. It is often translated “mind.”
2 tn For this construction, see Job 27:5.
3 tn The verb simply has the pronominal suffix, “them.” The idea must be that when God brings in all the thunderings he does not hold back his lightning bolts either.
