NETBible

Should good be paid back with evil? Yet they are virtually digging a pit to kill me. 1  Just remember how I stood before you pleading on their behalf 2  to keep you from venting your anger on them. 3 

NET Notes

tn Or “They are plotting to kill me”; Heb “They have dug a pit for my soul.” This is a common metaphor for plotting against someone. See BDB 500 s.v. כָּרָה Qal and for an example see Pss 7:16 (7:15 HT) in its context.

tn Heb “to speak good concerning them” going back to the concept of “good” being paid back with evil.

tn Heb “to turn back your anger from them.”

sn See Jer 14:7-9, 19-21 and 15:1-4 for the idea.
