For those who insist the Hebrew vowel points are inspired, what do you do with Psalm 22.16?
KJV - For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
NASB - For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.
Hebrew - כִּי סְבָבוְּנִי כְּלָבִים עֲדַת מְרֵעִים הִקִּיפוְּנִי כָּאֲרִי יָדַי וְרַגְלָי
Complete Jewish Bible - Dogs are all around me, a pack of villains closes in on me like a lion [at] my hands and feet.
Now as I understand, the Hebrew vowel points say "Like a lion", as the CJB translates. If the Hebrew vowel points are inspired, what do Christians do with this passage? "Like a lion" makes no sense, and the apostles quote "pierced" (as in the Greek - no arguments on whether there is an LXX or not).
