42:22 But these people are looted and plundered;
all of them are trapped in pits 1
and held captive 2 in prisons.
They were carried away as loot with no one to rescue them;
they were carried away as plunder, and no one says, “Bring that back!” 3
1 tc The Hebrew text has בַּחוּרִים (bakhurim, “young men”), but the text should be emended to בְּהוֹרִים (bÿhorim, “in holes”).
2 tn Heb “and made to be hidden”; NAB, NASB, NIV, TEV “hidden away in prisons.”
3 tn Heb “they became loot and there was no one rescuing, plunder and there was no one saying, ‘Bring back’.”
