Psalms 119:118

You despise ¹  all who stray from your statutes, for they are deceptive and unreliable. ² 

Ps 78:36,37,57; Ps 95:10; Ps 119:10,21; Ps 119:29; Isa 25:10; Isa 44:20; Isa 63:3; Mal 4:3; Lu 21:24; Eph 4:22; Eph 5:6; 2Th 2:9-11; 2Ti 3:13; 1Jo 2:21; Re 14:20; Re 18:23

¹ tn The Hebrew verb סָלָה (salah, “to disdain”) occurs only here and in Lam 1:15. Cognate usage in Aramaic and Akkadian, as well as Lam 1:15, suggest it may have a concrete nuance of “to throw away.”

² tn Heb “for their deceit [is] falsehood.”
