40:27 Why do you say, Jacob,
Why do you say, Israel,
“The Lord is not aware of what is happening to me, 1
My God is not concerned with my vindication”? 2
40:30 Even youths get tired and weary;
even strong young men clumsily stumble. 3
1 tn Heb “my way is hidden from the Lord” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).
2 tn Heb “and from my God my justice passes away”; NRSV “my right is disregarded by my God.”
3 tn Heb “stumbling they stumble.” The verbal idea is emphasized by the infinitive absolute.
