Guarantee Your servant’s well-being; Let not the proud oppress me.
“I myself shall stand guaranty for him – from my hand you are to require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.
Please lay down a pledge for me with Yourself. Who would strike hands with me?
You rebuked the proud, cursed ones, Who are straying from Your commands.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, And the hand of the wrong drive me away.
“Like a swallow or a thrush, so I chattered; I moaned like a dove; my eyes look weakly on high. O יהוה, I am oppressed, undertake for me!
By as much as this יהושע has become a guarantor of a better covenant.
