2 Samuel 16:12

12It may be that the Lord will look upon my misery and restore to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse today.”

12Perhaps the Lord will look on my 16:12 As in ancient versions; MT wrongdoingmisery and 16:12 Lit the Lord will returnreturn good to me instead of his cursing this day.”

12Perhaps the Lord will look on my affliction and return good to me instead of his cursing this day.”

12Perhaps 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.”

12Perhaps the Lord will see my affliction and repay me with good for the cursing I receive today.”

12Maybe the Lord will see how much I’m suffering. Maybe he’ll bring back to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse I’m hearing today.”
