NETBible

But now 1  don’t treat him as if he were innocent. You are a wise man and you know how to handle him; 2  make sure he has a bloody death.” 3 

NET Notes

1 tc The Lucianic recension of the Old Greek and the Vulgate have here “you” rather than “now.” The two words are homonyms in Hebrew.

2 tn Heb “what you should do to him.”

3 tn Heb “bring his grey hair down in blood [to] Sheol.”
