35:4 Tell those who panic, 1
“Be strong! Do not fear!
Look, your God comes to avenge!
With divine retribution he comes to deliver you.” 2
59:2 But your sinful acts have alienated you from your God;
your sins have caused him to reject you and not listen to your prayers. 3
1 tn Heb “Say to the hasty of heart,” i.e., those whose hearts beat quickly from fear.
2 tn The jussive form וְיֹשַׁעֲכֶם (vÿyosha’akhem), which is subordinated to the preceding imperfect with vav conjunctive, indicates purpose.
3 tn Heb “and your sins have caused [his] face to be hidden from you so as not to hear.”
