3:10 Tell the innocent 1 it will go well with them, 2
for they will be rewarded for what they have done. 3
5:23 They pronounce the guilty innocent for a payoff,
they ignore the just cause of the innocent. 4
26:2 Open the gates so a righteous nation can enter –
one that remains trustworthy.
49:24 Can spoils be taken from a warrior,
or captives be rescued from a conqueror? 5
1 tn Or “the righteous” (KJV, NASB, NIV, TEV); NLT “those who are godly.”
2 tn Heb “that it is good.”
3 tn Heb “for the fruit of their deeds they will eat.”
4 tn Heb “and the just cause of the innocent ones they turn aside from him.”
