[19:3]  ¹ tn Heb “nevertheless good things are found with you.”

[19:3]  ² tn Here בָּעַר (ba’ar) is not the well attested verb “burn,” but the less common homonym meaning “devastate, sweep away, remove.” See HALOT 146 s.v. II בער.

[19:3]  ³ tn Heb “and you set your heart to seek the Lord.”

[33:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[33:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “like the abominable practices of the nations.”

[33:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “misled Judah.” The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” here by metonymy for the people of Judah.
