v. 57 – For the niphal of הפך, SDBH offers "become, change, turn into," DCH (581) "turn, i.e. change (oneself), be turned, i.e. changed, be reversed," BDB (245) "turn aside."[1] Much of the sense depends on the following רְמִיָּה, however, which does not license such appeal to "turning," but rather an inchoative change of state (see the following note).

  1. ↑ The LXX has μετεστράφησαν, Aquila ἐστράφησαν, Symmachus ἀπεστρέφοντο, Jerome incurvati sunt.
