10:7 The memory 4 of the righteous is a blessing,
but the reputation 5 of the wicked will rot. 6
65:15 Your names will live on in the curse formulas of my chosen ones. 7
The sovereign Lord will kill you,
but he will give his servants another name.
25:41 “Then he will say 8 to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels!
1 tn Heb “who sold himself.”
2 tn Heb “in the eyes of.”
3 tn Heb “like Ahab…whom his wife Jezebel incited.”
4 sn “Memory” (זֵכֶר, zekher) and “name” are often paired as synonyms. “Memory” in this sense has to do with reputation, fame. One’s reputation will be good or bad by righteousness or wickedness respectively.
5 tn Heb “name.” The term “name” often functions as a metonymy of association for reputation (BDB 1028 s.v. שֵׁם 2.b).
6 tn The editors of BHS suggest a reading “will be cursed” to make a better parallelism, but the reading of the MT is more striking as a metaphor.
7 tn Heb “you will leave your name for an oath to my chosen ones.”
8 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
