[16:47]  ¹ tn Heb “walked in their ways.”

[16:47]  ² tn The Hebrew expression has a temporal meaning as illustrated by the use of the phrase in 2 Chr 12:7.

[20:17]  ³ tn Heb “my eye pitied.”

[23:11]  ⁵ tn The word “this” is not in the original text.

[26:4]  ⁷ tn Or “debris.”

[22:30]  ⁹ tn Heb “I did not find.”

[30:11]  ¹¹ tn The Babylonians were known for their cruelty (2 Kgs 25:7).

[5:16]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew word carries the basic idea of “bad, displeasing, injurious,” but when used of weapons has the nuance “deadly” (see Ps 144:10).

[5:16]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “which are/were to destroy.”

[5:16]  ¹⁵ tn The language of this verse may have been influenced by Deut 32:23.

[5:16]  ¹⁶ tn Or “which were to destroy those whom I will send to destroy you” (cf. NASB).

[5:16]  ¹⁷ tn Heb, “break the staff of bread.” The bread supply is compared to a staff that one uses for support. See 4:16, as well as the covenant curse in Lev 26:26.

[43:3]  ¹⁵ tc Heb “I.” The reading is due to the confusion of yod (י, indicating a first person pronoun) and vav (ו, indicating a third person pronoun). A few medieval Hebrew mss, Theodotion’s Greek version, and the Latin Vulgate support a third person pronoun here.
