Foreigners are powerless ³  before me;

Because of your great power your enemies cower in fear ⁴  before you.

and have not obeyed my commands,’ says the Lord.

Jeremiah 13:16

13:16 Show the Lord your God the respect that is due him. ¹⁰ 

Do it before he brings the darkness of disaster. ¹¹ 

Do it before you stumble ¹²  into distress

like a traveler on the mountains at twilight. ¹³ 

Do it before he turns the light of deliverance you hope for

into the darkness and gloom of exile. ¹⁴ 

Malachi 2:2

Revelation 11:13

11:13 Just then ²¹  a major earthquake took place and a tenth of the city collapsed; seven thousand people ²²  were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

Revelation 16:9

16:9 Thus ²³  people ²⁴  were scorched by the terrible heat, ²⁵  yet ²⁶  they blasphemed the name of God, who has ruling authority ²⁷  over these plagues, and they would not repent and give him glory.

[7:19]  ¹ tn Heb “give glory to.”

[18:44]  ² tn Heb “at a report of an ear they submit to me.” The report of the psalmist’s exploits is so impressive that those who hear it submit to his rulership without putting up a fight.

[18:44]  ³ tn For the meaning “be weak, powerless” for כָּחַשׁ (kakhash), see Ps 109:24. The next line (see v. 45a), in which “foreigners” are also mentioned, favors this interpretation. Another option is to translate “cower in fear” (see Deut 33:29; Pss 66:3; 81:15; cf. NIV “cringe”; NRSV “came cringing”).

[66:3]  ⁴ tn See Deut 33:29; Ps 81:15 for other uses of the verb כָּחַשׁ (kakhash) in the sense “cower in fear.” In Ps 18:44 the verb seems to carry the nuance “be weak, powerless” (see also Ps 109:24).

[42:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “Let them ascribe to the Lord glory.”

[42:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “and his praise in the coastlands [or “islands”] let them declare.”

[3:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “Only acknowledge your iniquity.”

[3:13]  ⁸ tn The words “You must confess” are repeated to convey the connection. The Hebrew text has an introductory “that” in front of the second line and a coordinative “and” in front of the next two lines.

[3:13]  ⁹ tc MT reads דְּרָכַיִךְ (dÿrakhayikh, “your ways”), but the BHS editors suggest דּוֹדַיִךְ (dodayikh, “your breasts”) as an example of orthographic confusion. While the proposal makes sense, it remains a conjectural emendation since it is not supported by any actual manuscripts or ancient versions.

[13:16]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Give glory/respect to the Lord your God.” For this nuance of the word “glory” (כָּבוֹד, kavod), see BDB 459 s.v. כָּבוֹד 6.b and compare the usage in Mal 1:6 and Josh 7:19.

[13:16]  ¹¹ tn The words “of disaster” are not in the text. They are supplied in the translation to explain the significance of the metaphor to readers who may not be acquainted with the metaphorical use of light and darkness for salvation and joy and distress and sorrow respectively.

[13:16]  ¹² tn Heb “your feet stumble.”

[13:16]  ¹³ tn Heb “you stumble on the mountains at twilight.” The added words are again supplied in the translation to help explain the metaphor to the uninitiated reader.

[13:16]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and while you hope for light he will turn it into deep darkness and make [it] into gloom.” The meaning of the metaphor is again explained through the addition of the “of” phrases for readers who are unacquainted with the metaphorical use of these terms.

[2:2]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and if you do not place upon [the] heart”; KJV, NAB, NRSV “lay it to heart.”

[2:2]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the curse” (so NASB, NRSV); NLT “a terrible curse.”

[9:24]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “they called.”

[9:24]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “who was blind.”

[9:24]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “Give glory to God” (an idiomatic formula used in placing someone under oath to tell the truth).

[9:24]  ²⁰ tn The phrase “this man” is a reference to Jesus.

[11:13]  ²¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:13]  ²² tn Grk “seven thousand names of men.”

[16:9]  ²³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “thus” to indicate the implied result of the bowl poured on the sun.

[16:9]  ²⁴ tn Grk “men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") and refers to both men and women.

[16:9]  ²⁵ tn On this phrase BDAG 536 s.v. καῦμα states, “burning, heat Rv 7:16…καυματίζεσθαι κ. μέγα be burned with a scorching heat 16:9.”

[16:9]  ²⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[16:9]  ²⁷ tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.
