3:5 The just Lord resides 1 within her;
he commits no unjust acts. 2
Every morning he reveals 3 his justice.
At dawn he appears without fail. 4
Yet the unjust know no shame.
3:19 Look, at that time I will deal with those who mistreated you.
I will rescue the lame sheep 5
and gather together the scattered sheep.
I will take away their humiliation
and make the whole earth admire and respect them. 6
1 tn The word “resides” is supplied for clarification.
2 tn Or “he does no injustice.”
3 tn Heb “gives”; or “dispenses.”
4 tn Heb “at the light he is not missing.” Note that NASB (which capitalizes pronouns referring to Deity) has divided the lines differently: “Every morning He brings His justice to light; // He does not fail.”
5 tn The word “sheep” is supplied for clarification. As in Mic 4:6-7, the exiles are here pictured as injured and scattered sheep whom the divine shepherd rescues from danger.
6 tn Heb “I will make them into praise and a name, in all the earth, their shame.” The present translation assumes that “their shame” specifies “them” and that “name” stands here for a good reputation.
