Genesis 4:14

4:14 Look! You are driving me off the land ¹  today, and I must hide from your presence. ²  I will be a homeless wanderer on the earth; whoever finds me will kill me.”

Leviticus 26:36

26:36 “‘As for ³  the ones who remain among you, I will bring despair into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a blowing leaf will pursue them, and they will flee as one who flees the sword and fall down even though there is no pursuer.

Deuteronomy 28:65-66

28:65 Among those nations you will have no rest nor will there be a place of peaceful rest for the soles of your feet, for there the Lord will give you an anxious heart, failing eyesight, and a spirit of despair. 28:66 Your life will hang in doubt before you; you will be terrified by night and day and will have no certainty of surviving from one day to the next. ⁴ 

Psalms 109:10

109:10 May his children ⁵  roam around begging,

asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home! ⁶ 

Jeremiah 20:3-4

20:3 But the next day Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks. When he did, Jeremiah said to him, “The Lord’s name for you is not ‘Pashhur’ but ‘Terror is Everywhere.’ ⁷  20:4 For the Lord says, ‘I will make both you and your friends terrified of what will happen to you. ⁸  You will see all of them die by the swords of their enemies. ⁹  I will hand all the people of Judah over to the king of Babylon. He will carry some of them away into exile in Babylon and he will kill others of them with the sword.

Hosea 9:17

9:17 My God will reject them,

for they have not obeyed him;

so they will be fugitives among the nations.

[4:14]  ¹ tn Heb “from upon the surface of the ground.”

[4:14]  ² sn I must hide from your presence. The motif of hiding from the Lord as a result of sin also appears in Gen 3:8-10.

[26:36]  ³ tn Heb “And.”

[28:66]  ⁴ tn Heb “you will not be confident in your life.” The phrase “from one day to the next” is implied by the following verse.

[109:10]  ⁵ tn Or “sons.”

[109:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “and roaming, may his children roam and beg, and seek from their ruins.” Some, following the LXX, emend the term וְדָרְשׁוּ (vÿdoreshu, “and seek”) to יְגֹרְשׁוּ (yÿgoreshu; a Pual jussive, “may they be driven away” [see Job 30:5; cf. NIV, NRSV]), but דָּרַשׁ (darash) nicely parallels שִׁאֵלוּ (shi’elu, “and beg”) in the preceding line.

[20:3]  ⁷ tn This name is translated rather than transliterated to aid the reader in understanding this name and connect it clearly with the explanation that follows in the next verse. For a rather complete discussion on the significance of this name and an attempt to explain it as a pun on the name “Pashhur” see J. A. Thompson, Jeremiah (NICOT), 455, n. 35.

[20:4]  ⁸ tn Heb “I will make you an object of terror to both you and your friends.”

[20:4]  ⁹ tn Heb “And they will fall by the sword of their enemies and [with] your eyes seeing [it].”
