Numbers 26:11

26:11 But the descendants of Korah did not die.

Psalms 90:7

90:7 Yes, ¹  we are consumed by your anger;

we are terrified by your wrath.

Proverbs 19:3

19:3 A person’s folly ²  subverts ³  his way,

and ⁴  his heart rages ⁵  against the Lord.

Isaiah 57:16

57:16 For I will not be hostile ⁶  forever

or perpetually angry,

for then man’s spirit would grow faint before me, ⁷ 

the life-giving breath I created.

Hebrews 12:5

12:5 And have you forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as sons?

“My son, do not scorn ⁸  the Lord’s discipline

or give up when he corrects ⁹  you.

¹ tn Or “for.”

² tn Heb “the folly of a man.”

³ tn The verb סָלַף (salaf) normally means “to twist; to pervert; to overturn,” but in this context it means “to subvert” (BDB 701 s.v.); cf. ASV “subverteth.”

⁴ tn The clause begins with vav on the nonverb phrase “against the Lord.” While clause structure and word order is less compelling in a book like Proverbs, this fits well as a circumstantial clause indicating concession.

⁵ sn The “heart raging” is a metonymy of cause (or adjunct); it represents the emotions that will lead to blaming God for the frustration. Genesis 42:28 offers a calmer illustration of this as the brothers ask what God was doing to them.

⁶ tn Or perhaps, “argue,” or “accuse” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).

⁷ tn Heb “for a spirit from before me would be faint.”

⁸ tn Or “disregard,” “think little of.”

⁹ tn Or “reproves,” “rebukes.” The Greek verb ἐλέγχω (elencw) implies exposing someone’s sin in order to bring correction.
