Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
Greek: ὀξύς (oxýs)
keen; by analogy, rapid
Hebrew: chad
sharp
Greek: ὁ (ho)
the (sometimes to be supplied, at others omitted, in English idiom)
Hebrew: ʼillêyn
these
Greek: κραταιός (krataiós)
powerful
Hebrew: ʼûwl
the body (as being rolled together); also powerful
Hebrew: pechâm
a coal, whether charred or live
Verse Explanation
The answer to the previous question is expressed through two powerful images: sharp arrows belonging to a warrior and burning coals from a broom tree. Both images communicate severe and lasting judgment. A sharp arrow represents something that strikes with force and cannot easily be stopped once released. Burning coals represent fire that remains hot and destructive. Together they emphasize that malicious deception is not harmless. The psalmist trusts that God can deal with those who use destructive words against others. The imagery also reminds the reader that judgment belongs to God rather than to the victim.
History
Ancient Near Eastern military and fire imagery. Bows and arrows were common weapons throughout the biblical period, while wood used for hot-burning charcoal was familiar in desert and semi-arid regions. Exact date uncertain.
