translationNotes
- The writer continues to use parallelism in verses 18 and 19, conveying a single idea using two different statements to emphasize God's acts of chastening and healing. (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_parallelism)
- See, happy is the man whom God corrects - "See how happy is the man whom God corrects"
- God corrects…chastening of the Almighty - God is pictured as a parent correcting or instructing a child.
- happy - "blessed" or "favored"
- do not despise - "do not reject" or "do not consider worthless"
- chastening - "instruction" or "correction" or "discipline" (UDB)
- For he wounds and then binds up; he wounds and then his hands heal - "For he wounds but binds up; he crushes but his hands heal"
- He will rescue you out of six troubles; indeed, in seven troubles, no evil will touch you - Here the pronoun shifts from "he/him" to "you." "Six times he will deliver you from trouble; seven times no evil will touch you."
