23:5 When the news reaches Egypt,
they will be shaken by what has happened to Tyre. 1
31:6 You Israelites! Return to the one against whom you have so blatantly rebelled! 2
1 tn Heb “they will be in pain at the report of Tyre.”
2 tn Heb “Return to the one [against] whom the sons of Israel made deep rebellion.” The syntax is awkward here. A preposition is omitted by ellipsis after the verb (see GKC 446 §138.f, n. 2), and there is a shift from direct address (note the second plural imperative “return”) to the third person (note “they made deep”). For other examples of abrupt shifts in person in poetic style, see GKC 462 §144.p.
