1 tn Heb “ built the house and completed it.”
2 tn The elliptical Hebrew text reads literally “and the Lord will strike Israel as a reed sways in the water.”
3 tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 22, 31).
4 tn Heb “the River.” In biblical Hebrew this is a typical reference to the Euphrates River. The name “Euphrates” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
5 tn Heb “because they made their Asherah poles that anger the Lord”; or “their images of Asherah”; ASV, NASB “their Asherim”; NCV “they set up idols to worship Asherah.”
