¹ tn The translation understands the verb in the sense of “be grieved, relent” (cf. HALOT 689 s.v. נחם hitp 2); cf. KJV, ASV “repent himself”; NLT “will change his mind.” Another option is to translate “will show compassion to” (see BDB 637 s.v. נחם); cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV.

¹ tn The Niphal of נָחַם (nakham) refers here to God relenting from a punishment already underway.

¹ tn Heb “darkness and deep darkness.” See the note on the word “darkness” in v. 10.
