[14:13]  1 tn The use of אַל (’al) with the jussive has the force of “stop fearing.” It is a more immediate negative command than לֹא (lo’) with the imperfect (as in the Decalogue).

[14:13]  2 tn The force of this verb in the Hitpael is “to station oneself” or “stand firm” without fleeing.

[14:13]  3 tn The form is an imperative with a vav (ו). It could also be rendered “stand firm and you will see” meaning the result, or “stand firm that you may see” meaning the purpose.

[14:13]  4 tn Or “victory” (NAB) or “deliverance” (NIV, NRSV).

[14:13]  5 tn Heb “do,” i.e., perform or accomplish.

[14:13]  6 tn The construction uses a verbal hendiadys consisting of a Hiphil imperfect (“you will not add”) and a Qal infinitive construct with a suffix (“to see them”) – “you will no longer see them.” Then the clause adds “again, for ever.”
