Thanks, Jerry ! I just checked
DeRossi and Kennicott for variants. There are none noted. The Latin Vulgate got
it better: “verba rugitus
mei”.
Your explanation makes
sense.

Peter Streitenberger, Germany Hi Peter,
I was looking at this passage just a couple of days ago. The LXX does
something very similar. They translate it as "from my
transgressions." One suggestion by the text-critics is that the LXX may
have misread the root as shagag or shaga' rather than sha'ag (I don't know your
familiarity with Hebrew, so I'm using a simplified transliteration
scheme). So perhaps both the LXX and the Syriac either misread the Hebrew
(a possible metathesis), or, conjecturally, one might suggest they had a
different Hebrew text in front of them. In any case, this other root has
to do with transgressions, going astray, and perhaps, in some cases,
unintentionally. So one could see an overlap between folly and
unintentionally going astray.
