NASB | 2 Samuel 16:12 "Perhaps the LORD will look on my affliction and return good to me instead of his cursing this day." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Samuel 16:12 "Perhaps the LORD will look on the wrong done to me [by Shimei, if he is acting on his own]; and [in that case perhaps] the Lord will this day return good to me in place of his cursing." |
Bible Question (short): Desirability of a literal reading? |
Question (full): The marginal note for 2 Samuel 16:12 in my NASB Study Bible reads [Lit. the Lord will return]. This is an example to my mind of the desirability of the literal reading (even if it is a more "wooden" or stiff rendering). 2 Samuel 16:12, NKJ, "It may be that the Lord will look on my affliction, and that the Lord will repay me with good for his cursing this day." I have learned to compare/contrast this verse with Isaiah 45:7. Any comments? From the heart, Ray |
