35:20 For they do not try to make peace with others, 1
but plan ways to deceive those who are unsuspecting. 2
41:7 All who hate me whisper insults about me to one another; 3
they plan ways to harm me.
1 tn Heb “for they do not speak peace.”
2 tn Heb “but against the quiet ones of the land words of deceit they plan.” The imperfect verbal forms in v. 20 highlight their characteristic behavior.
3 tn Heb “together against me they whisper, all those who hate me.” The Hitpael of לָחַשׁ (lakhash) refers here to whispering to one another (see 2 Sam 12:19).
