57:16 For I will not be hostile 1 forever
or perpetually angry,
for then man’s spirit would grow faint before me, 2
the life-giving breath I created.
49:25 Indeed,” says the Lord,
“captives will be taken from a warrior;
spoils will be rescued from a conqueror.
I will oppose your adversary
and I will rescue your children.
1 tn Or perhaps, “argue,” or “accuse” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).
2 tn Heb “for a spirit from before me would be faint.”
