Romans 8:22

¹ tn Heb “there was no man/human being.”

² tn Heb “Lord Yahweh.” The translation follows the ancient Jewish tradition of substituting the Hebrew word for God for the proper name Yahweh.

³ tn Heb “this place.” Some see this as a reference to the temple but the context has been talking about what goes on in the towns of Judah and Jerusalem and the words that follow, meant as a further explanation, are applied to the whole land.

⁴ tn Heb “the trees of/in the field and the fruit of/in the ground.”

⁵ tn Or “languish” (so KJV, NRSV); NIV “waste away.”

⁶ tn Heb “the beasts of the field” (so NAB, NIV).

⁷ tn Or “though.”

⁸ tn Heb “the produce of the olive disappoints.”

⁹ tn Heb “food.”

¹⁰ tn Or “are cut off.”
