Lamentations 3:45

3:45 You make us like filthy scum ¹ 

in the estimation ²  of the nations.

Acts 22:22

The Roman Commander Questions Paul

22:22 The crowd ³  was listening to him until he said this. ⁴  Then ⁵  they raised their voices and shouted, ⁶  “Away with this man ⁷  from the earth! For he should not be allowed to live!” ⁸ 

[3:45]  ¹ tn Heb “offscouring and refuse.” The two nouns סְחִי וּמָאוֹס (sÿkhi uma’os) probably form a nominal hendiadys, in which the first noun functions as an adjective and the second retains its full nominal sense: “filthy refuse,” i.e., “filthy scum.”

[3:45]  ² tn Heb “in the midst of.”

[22:22]  ³ tn Grk “They were listening”; the referent (the crowd) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:22]  ⁴ tn Grk “until this word.”

[22:22]  ⁵ tn Grk “And.” To indicate the logical sequence, καί (kai) has been translated as “then” here.

[22:22]  ⁶ tn Grk “and said.”

[22:22]  ⁷ tn Grk “this one.”

[22:22]  ⁸ tn BDAG 491 s.v. καθήκω has “to be appropriate, come/reach to, be proper/fitting…Usu. impers. καθήκει it comes (to someone)…foll. by acc. and inf….οὐ καθῆκεν αὐτὸν ζῆν he should not be allowed to live Ac 22:22.”
