Leviticus 26:17
26:17 I will set my face against you. You will be struck down before your enemies, those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when there is no one pursuing you.
Leviticus 26:37
26:37 They will stumble over each other as those who flee before a sword, though 1 there is no pursuer, and there will be no one to take a stand 2 for you before your enemies.
1 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) is used in a concessive sense here.
2 tn The term rendered “to stand up” is a noun, not an infinitive. It occurs only here and appears to designate someone who would take a powerful stand for them against their enemies.
