37:32 Evil men set an ambush for the godly
and try to kill them. 1
38:12 Those who seek my life try to entrap me; 2
those who want to harm me speak destructive words;
all day long they say deceitful things.
1 tn Heb “an evil [one] watches the godly [one] and seeks to kill him.” The singular forms are used in a representative sense; the typical evildoer and godly individual are in view. The active participles describe characteristic behavior.
2 tn Heb “lay snares.”
