Isaiah 57:17

For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth "Because of his iniquity for a short time was I wroth" - For bitso , I read betsa , a little while, from batsa , he cut of, as the Septuagint read and render it, , "a certain short space ." Propter iniquitatem avaritiae ejus , "because of the iniquity of his avarice," the rendering of the Vulgate, which our translators and I believe all others follow, is surely quite beside the purpose.
