37:7Wait patiently for the Lord!10
Wait confidently11 for him!
Do not fret over the apparent success of a sinner,12
a man who carries out wicked schemes!
Footnotes
- 10 Heb “Be quiet before the Lord!”
- 11 The Hebrew text has וְהִתְחוֹלֵל (véhitkholel, Hitpolel of חִיל, khil, “writhe with fear, suffer”) but this idea fits awkwardly here. The text should be changed to וְתוֹחֵל (vétokhel; Hiphil of יָחַל, yakhal, “wait”). It appears that the Hebrew text is the product of dittography: (1) the initial וה (vav-he) is accidentally repeated from the preceding word (יְהוָה, yéhvah) and (2) the final lamed (ל) is accidentally repeated (note the preceding lamed and the initial lamed on the following form, לו).
- 12 Heb “over one who causes his way to be successful.”
