(이사야 57:16 KRV)
“내가 영원히는 다투지 아니하며 내가 장구히는 노하지 아니할 것은
영과 내가 지은 생기(목숨)들이 מִלְּפָנַ֣י עָטַף [내 앞에서 겸손하기(to faint: to be humble) 때문이다].”(이사야 57:16 KRV)

(Isaiah 57:16 AVS)
“16 For I will not contend for ever,
neither will I be always wroth;
for the spirit before Me would faint (for the spirit is humble before Me),
and the breath of lives that I have made.” (Isaiah 57:16 AVS)
—————————————————————————-
The verb עָטַף is woven through Scripture with two complementary streams of thought:
(1) the outward act of being wrapped, clothed, or covered,
and (2) the inward experience of growing weak, faint, or overwhelmed.
Together they portray the human condition (being humble before GOD)
under trial and the gracious provision of God to sustain and clothe His people.
