26:36 “‘As for 1 the ones who remain among you, I will bring despair into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a blowing leaf will pursue them, and they will flee as one who flees the sword and fall down even though there is no pursuer. 26:37 They will stumble over each other as those who flee before a sword, though 2 there is no pursuer, and there will be no one to take a stand 3 for you before your enemies. 26:38 You will perish among the nations; the land of your enemies will consume you.
1 tn Heb “And.”
2 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) is used in a concessive sense here.
3 tn The term rendered “to stand up” is a noun, not an infinitive. It occurs only here and appears to designate someone who would take a powerful stand for them against their enemies.
