36:17 But now you are preoccupied with the judgment due the wicked,
judgment and justice take hold of you.
36:18 Be careful that 1 no one entices you with riches;
do not let a large bribe 2 turn you aside.
1 tn The first expression is idiomatic: the text says, “because wrath lest it entice you” – thus, beware.
2 tn The word is כֹּפֶר (kofer), often translated “ransom,” but frequently in the sense of a bribe.
