¹ tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

¹ tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here and in vv. 16, 22 is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

² tn Heb “Look, a strong and powerful [one] belongs to the Lord.”

³ tn Heb “like a rainstorm of hail, a wind of destruction.”

⁴ tn Heb “like a rainstorm of mighty, overflowing waters.”

⁵ tn The words “that crown” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The object of the verb is unexpressed in the Hebrew text.

⁶ tn Or “by [his] power.”

¹ tn That is, to make them drink it.

¹ tn Or “calls out in”; NASB, NIV, NRSV “calls on.”

² tn Or “rouses himself”; NASB “arouses himself.”

³ tn Heb “for you have hidden your face from us.”

⁴ tc The Hebrew text reads literally, “and you caused us to melt in the hand of our sin.” The verb וַתְּמוּגֵנוּ (vattÿmugenu) is a Qal preterite 2nd person masculine singular with a 1st person common plural suffix from the root מוּג (mug, “melt”). However, elsewhere the Qal of this verb is intransitive. If the verbal root מוּג (mug) is retained here, the form should be emended to a Polel pattern (וַתְּמֹגְגֵנוּ, vattÿmogÿgenu). The translation assumes an emendation to וַתְּמַגְּנֵנוּ (vattÿmaggÿnenu, “and you handed us over”). This form is a Piel preterite 2nd person masculine singular with a 1st person common plural suffix from the verbal root מִגֵּן (miggen, “hand over, surrender”; see HALOT 545 s.v. מגן and BDB 171 s.v. מָגָן). The point is that God has abandoned them to their sinful ways and no longer seeks reconciliation.

¹ tn Heb “spoke by the hand of.”

² tn The word used here (עָרוֹם, ’arom) sometimes means “naked,” but here it appears to mean simply “lightly dressed,” i.e., stripped to one’s undergarments. See HALOT 883 s.v. עָרוֹם. The term also occurs in vv. 3, 4.

¹ tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).
