Footnotes

  1. Hosea 14:9 tn The shortened form of the prefix-conjugation verb וְיָבֵן (veyaven) indicates that it is a jussive rather than an imperfect. When a jussive comes from a superior to an inferior, it may connote exhortation and instruction or advice and counsel. For the functions of the jussive, see IBHS 568-70 §34.3.

Who is wise?(A) Let them realize these things.
    Who is discerning? Let them understand.(B)
The ways of the Lord are right;(C)
    the righteous walk(D) in them,
    but the rebellious stumble in them.

    ngunit nadarapa ang mga masuwayin.
