50:9 I do not need to take 1 a bull from your household
or goats from your sheepfolds.
75:2 God says, 2
“At the appointed times, 3
I judge 4 fairly.
1 tn Or “I will not take.”
2 tn The words “God says” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation to clarify that God speaks in vv. 2-3.
3 tn Heb “when I take an appointed time.”
4 tn Heb “I, [in] fairness, I judge.” The statement is understood in a generalizing sense; God typically executes fair judgment as he governs the world. One could take this as referring to an anticipated (future) judgment, “I will judge.”
