32:36 The Lord will judge his people,
and will change his plans concerning 1 his servants;
when he sees that their power has disappeared,
and that no one is left, whether confined or set free.
32:2 My teaching will drop like the rain,
my sayings will drip like the dew, 2
as rain drops upon the grass,
and showers upon new growth.
1 tn The translation understands the verb in the sense of “be grieved, relent” (cf. HALOT 689 s.v. נחם hitp 2); cf. KJV, ASV “repent himself”; NLT “will change his mind.” Another option is to translate “will show compassion to” (see BDB 637 s.v. נחם); cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV.
