Could the repetition be a scribal error or is it emphasis? Not
knowing Hebrew, is the Hebrew repetitious? FWIW, the Vulgate has it:

        non in abscondito locutus sum in loc terrae tenebroso
        non dixi semini Iacob frustra quaerite me
        ego Dominus loquens iustitiam adnuntians recta

with no repetition.

BTW, sorry about the earlier message without commentary; with my vms
mailer, I must do a forward/edit to forward the message with my
comments to the list. I accidentally typed forward with the /edit.
