23:18Yet which of them has ever stood in the Lord’s inner circle58
so they59 could see and hear what he has to say?60
Which of them have ever paid attention or listened to what he has said?
Footnotes
- 58 Or “has been the Lord’s confidant.” The Lord’s inner circle refers to the council of angels (Ps 89:7 [89:8 ]; 1 Kgs 22:19–22; Job 1–2; Job 15:8) where God made known his counsel/plans (Amos 3:7). They and those they prophesied to will find out soon enough what the purposes of his heart are, and they are not “peace” (see v. 20). By their failure to announce the impending doom they were not turning the people away from their wicked course (vv. 21–22).
- 59 The form here is a jussive with a vav of subordination introducing a purpose after a question (cf. §109.f).
- 60 Heb “his word.” In the second instance (“what he has said” at the end of the verse) the translation follows the suggestion of the Masoretes (Qere) and many Hebrew rather than the consonantal text (Kethib) of the Leningrad Codex.
