57:4 At whom are you laughing?
At whom are you opening your mouth
and sticking out your tongue?
You are the children of rebels,
the offspring of liars, 1
59:13 We have rebelled and tried to deceive the Lord;
we turned back from following our God.
We stir up 2 oppression and rebellion;
we tell lies we concocted in our minds. 3
1 tn Heb “Are you not children of rebellion, offspring of a lie?” The rhetorical question anticipates the answer, “Of course you are!”
2 tn Heb “speaking.” A new sentence was started here in the translation for stylistic reasons.
3 tn Heb “conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.”
