75:5 Do not be so certain you have won! 1
Do not speak with your head held so high! 2
75:10 God says, 3
“I will bring down all the power of the wicked;
the godly will be victorious.” 4
1 tn Heb “do not lift up on high your horn.”
2 tn Heb “[do not] speak with unrestrained neck.” The negative particle is understood in this line by ellipsis (note the preceding line).
sn The image behind the language of vv. 4-5 is that of a powerful wild ox that confidently raises its head before its enemies.
3 tn The words “God says” are not in the Hebrew text. They are supplied in the translation to clarify that God speaks in v. 10.
4 tn Heb “and all the horns of the wicked I will cut off, the horns of the godly will be lifted up.” The imagery of the wild ox’s horn is once more utilized (see vv. 4-5).
