Dear Rob,
I will add to Neil`s comments that the Hebrew text never has "punishment"
where the LXX has KOLASIS.
Jer 18:20 SHUCHA "pit"
Ezek 14:3,4,7,30; 44:12 MIKSHOL "stumbling block"
Ezek 43:11 LXX: "and they shall take (or, bear) THN KOLASIN AUTWN
MT: "and if they are ashamed" KALAM
I do not have the Greek text of Josephus at hand, but from previous studies
I remember passages where he used KOLASIS with the meaning "punishment" or
"torment". In 2 Macc 4:38 KOLASIS is evidently used for the penalty of
death. The Anchor Bible translates: "There he removed the murderer from the
world, and thus the LORD repaid him with the punishment he deserved."
