64:2 Hide me from the plots of evil men,
from the crowd of evildoers. 1
55:14 We would share personal thoughts with each other; 2
in God’s temple we would walk together among the crowd.
1 tn Heb “workers of wickedness.”
2 tn Heb “who together we would make counsel sweet.” The imperfect verbal forms here and in the next line draw attention to the ongoing nature of the actions (the so-called customary use of the imperfect). Their relationship was characterized by such intimacy and friendship. See IBHS 502-3 §31.2b.
