Discovery Box| (0.58) | (Gen 35:11) | 2 tn Heb “A nation and a company of nations will be from you and kings from your loins will come out.” |
| (0.58) | (Luk 13:30) | 3 sn Some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last. Jesus’ answer is that some who are expected to be there (many from Israel) will not be there, while others not expected to be present (from other nations) will be present. The question is not, “Will the saved be few?” (see v. 23), but “Will it be you?” |
| (0.58) | (Luk 9:24) | 2 sn The point of the saying whoever wants to save his life will lose it is that if one comes to Jesus then rejection by many will certainly follow. If self-protection is a key motivation, then one will not respond to Jesus and will not be saved. One who is willing to risk rejection will respond and find true life. |
| (0.53) | (Jer 38:2) | 3 tn Heb “his life will be to him for spoil, and he will live.” For the meaning of this idiom see the study note on 21:9. The words “and he will live” have been left out of the translation because they are redundant after “will live” and “they will escape with their lives.” |
| (0.53) | (Isa 65:20) | 3 tn Heb “for the child as a son of one hundred years will die.” The point seems to be that those who die at the age of a hundred will be considered children, for the average life span will be much longer than that. The category “child” will be redefined in light of the expanded life spans that will characterize this new era. |
| (0.53) | (Isa 13:20) | 1 tn Heb “she will not be inhabited forever, and she will not be dwelt in to generation and generation (i.e., forever).” The Lord declares that Babylon, personified as a woman, will not be inhabited. In other words, her people will be destroyed, and the Chaldean empire will come to a permanent end. |
| (0.53) | (Pro 13:13) | 5 tc The MT reads יְשֻׁלָּם (yeshullam, “will be rewarded”); the LXX implies a different vocalization יִשְׁלָם (yishlam, “will stay well/healthy”). Also the LXX then adds: “A crafty son will have no good thing, but the affairs of a wise servant will be prosperous; and his path will be directed rightly.” |
| (0.51) | (Luk 22:30) | 2 sn The statement you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel looks at the future authority the Twelve will have when Jesus returns. They will share in Israel’s judgment. |
| (0.51) | (Luk 21:9) | 3 sn The end will not come at once. This remark about timing not only indicates that there will be events before the end, but that some time will also pass before it comes. |
| (0.51) | (Mat 19:28) | 4 sn The statement you…will also sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel looks at the future authority the Twelve will have when Jesus returns. They will share in Israel’s judgment. |
| (0.51) | (Nah 1:3) | 3 tn Or “he will certainly not acquit [the wicked],” or “he certainly will not declare [them] to be free from punishment.” The accompanying infinitive absolute strengthens the modality of the finite verb making it a stronger assurance, hence “certainly will not.” |
| (0.51) | (Mic 7:16) | 2 tn Heb “and their ears will be deaf.” Apparently this means the opposing nations will be left dumbfounded by the Lord’s power. Their inability to respond will make them appear to be deaf mutes. |
| (0.51) | (Hos 14:7) | 2 tn Heb “they will cause the grain to live” or “they will revive the grain.” Some English versions treat this as a comparison: “they shall revive as the corn,” (KJV) and “will flourish like the grain” (NIV). |
| (0.51) | (Jer 51:47) | 2 tn Or “all her slain will fall in her midst.” In other words, her people will be overtaken by judgment and be unable to escape. The dead will lie in heaps in the very heart of the city and land. |
| (0.51) | (Isa 30:23) | 1 tn Heb “and he will give rain for your seed that you plant in the ground, and food [will be] the produce of the ground, and it will be rich and abundant.” |
| (0.51) | (Isa 7:3) | 1 tn The name means “a remnant will return.” Perhaps in this context, where the Lord is trying to encourage Ahaz, the name suggests that only a few of the enemy invaders will return home; the rest will be defeated. |
| (0.51) | (Pro 28:8) | 2 sn The verse is saying that in God’s justice wealth amassed unjustly will eventually go to the poor. God will take the wealth away from them and give it to people who will distribute it better to the poor. |
| (0.51) | (Pro 19:9) | 2 sn The verse is the same as v. 5, except that the last word changes to the verb “will perish” (cf. NCV “will die”; CEV, NLT “will be destroyed”; TEV “is doomed”). |
| (0.51) | (Psa 59:9) | 1 tc Heb “his strength, for you I will watch.” “His strength” should be emended to “my strength” (see v. 17). Some also emend אֶשְׁמֹרָה (ʾeshmorah, “I will watch”) to אֱזַמֵּרָה (ʾezammerah, “I will sing praises [to you]”) See v. 17. |
| (0.51) | (Psa 13:3) | 3 tn Heb “or else I will sleep [in?] the death.” Perhaps the statement is elliptical, “I will sleep [the sleep] of death,” or “I will sleep [with the sleepers in] death.” |
