120:7 I am committed to peace, ¹ 

but when I speak, they want to make war. ²

Hebrews 12:14

Hebrews 12:1

The Lord’s Discipline

12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, ⁵  we must get rid of every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set out for us,

Hebrews 3:11

3:11 “As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter my rest!’” ⁶ 

[120:7]  ¹ tn Heb “I, peace.”

[120:7]  ² tn Heb “they [are] for war.”

[12:18]  ³ tn Here ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used as a generic and refers to both men and women.

[12:14]  ⁴ sn The references to peace and holiness show the close connection between this paragraph and the previous one. The pathway toward “holiness” and the need for it is cited in Heb 12:10 and 14. More importantly Prov 4:26-27 sets up the transition from one paragraph to the next: It urges people to stay on godly paths (Prov 4:26, quoted here in v. 13) and promises that God will lead them in peace if they do so (Prov 4:27 [LXX], quoted in v. 14).

[12:1]  ⁵ tn Grk “having such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us.”

[3:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “if they shall enter my rest,” a Hebrew idiom expressing an oath that something will certainly not happen.
