22:8 They 1 removed the defenses 2 of Judah.
At that time 3 you looked
for the weapons in the House of the Forest. 4
19:14 The Lord has made them undiscerning; 5
they lead Egypt astray in all she does,
so that she is like a drunk sliding around in his own vomit. 6
1 tn Heb “he,” i.e., the enemy invader. NASB, by its capitalization of the pronoun, takes this to refer to the Lord.
2 tn Heb “covering.”
3 tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV), likewise at the beginning of v. 12.
4 sn Perhaps this refers to a royal armory, or to Solomon’s “House of the Forest of Lebanon,” where weapons may have been kept (see 1 Kgs 10:16-17).
5 tn Heb “the Lord has mixed into her midst a spirit of blindness.”
6 tn Heb “like the going astray of a drunkard in his vomit.”
