Amos 7:9

7:9 Isaac’s centers of worship 1  will become desolate;

Israel’s holy places will be in ruins.

I will attack Jeroboam’s dynasty with the sword.” 2 

Psalms 56:5

56:5 All day long they cause me trouble; 3 

they make a habit of plotting my demise. 4 

Matthew 26:61

26:61 and declared, “This man 5  said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”

1 tn Traditionally, “the high places” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV); NLT “pagan shrines.”

2 tn Heb “And I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with a sword.”

3 tn Heb “my affairs they disturb.” For other instances of דָּבָר (davar) meaning “affairs, business,” see BDB 183 s.v.. The Piel of עָצַב (’atsav, “to hurt”) occurs only here and in Isa 63:10, where it is used of “grieving” (or “offending”) the Lord’s holy Spirit. Here in Ps 56:5, the verb seems to carry the nuance “disturb, upset,” in the sense of “cause trouble.”

4 tn Heb “against me [are] all their thoughts for harm.”

5 tn Grk “This one.”
