5:6 I was very angry when I heard their outcry and these complaints. 1
1:4 When I heard these things I sat down abruptly, 2 crying and mourning for several days. I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.
1 tn Heb “words.”
2 tn Heb “sat down.” Context suggests that this was a rather sudden action, resulting from the emotional shock of the unpleasant news, so “abruptly” has been supplied in the present translation.
