38:10 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind, 1 and you will devise an evil plan. 38:11 You will say, “I will invade 2 a land of unwalled towns; I will advance against 3 those living quietly in security – all of them living without walls and barred gates –
38:17 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days by my servants 4 the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days 5 that I would bring you against them?
1 tn Heb “words will go up upon your heart.”
2 tn Heb “go up against.”
3 tn Heb “come (to).”
4 tn Heb “by the hand of my servants.”
