[27:11]  ¹ tn Heb “are dry” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[27:11]  ² tn Heb “women come [and] light it.” The city is likened to a dead tree with dried up branches that is only good for firewood.

[27:11]  ³ tn Heb “for not a people of understanding [is] he.”

[29:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “the wrath of the Lord and his zeal.” The expression is a hendiadys, a figure in which the second noun becomes adjectival to the first.

[29:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “the entire oath.”

[29:20]  ⁷ tn Or “will lie in wait against him.”

[13:14]  ¹⁰ tn Or “children along with their parents”; Heb “fathers and children together.”

[13:14]  ¹¹ tn Heb “I will not show…so as not to destroy them.”

[5:11]  ¹² tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.

[7:4]  ¹⁵ tn “I will set your behavior on your head.”

[7:4]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and your abominable practices will be among you.”

[7:9]  ¹⁷ tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.

[7:9]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “According to your behavior I will place on you.”

[24:14]  ²⁶ tn Heb “ways.”

[8:32]  ²⁷ tn Grk “[he] who.” The relative clause continues the question of v. 31 in a way that is awkward in English. The force of v. 32 is thus: “who indeed did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – How will he not also with him give us all things?”

[2:4]  ²⁸ tn Grk “being unaware.”
