[9:5] 1 tn Heb “Indeed every boot marching with shaking.” On the meaning of סְאוֹן (sÿ’on, “boot”) and the related denominative verb, both of which occur only here, see HALOT 738 s.v. סְאוֹן.
[25:7] 2 tn The Hebrew text reads, “the face of the shroud, the shroud over all the nations.” Some emend the second הַלּוֹט (hallot) to a passive participle הַלּוּט (hallut, “that is wrapped”).
[25:7] 3 sn The point of the imagery is unclear. Perhaps the shroud/covering referred to was associated with death in some way (see v. 8).
[30:13] 3 tn The verse reads literally, “So this sin will become for you like a breach ready to fall, bulging on a high wall, the breaking of which comes suddenly, in a flash.” Their sin produces guilt and will result in judgment. Like a wall that collapses their fall will be swift and sudden.
[32:20] 4 tn Heb “by all the waters.”
[32:20] 5 tn Heb “who set free the foot of the ox and donkey”; NIV “letting your cattle and donkeys range free.”
[33:6] 5 tn Heb “and he is the stability of your times.”
[33:6] 6 tn Heb “a rich store of deliverance, wisdom, and knowledge.”
[33:6] 7 tn Heb “the fear of the Lord, it is his treasure.”
[46:3] 6 tn Heb “house of Jacob”; TEV “descendants of Jacob.”
[46:3] 7 tn Heb “and all the remnant of the house of Israel.”
[46:3] 8 tn Heb “from the womb” (so NRSV); KJV “from the belly”; NAB “from your infancy.”
[46:3] 9 tn Heb “who have been lifted up from the womb.”
[47:15] 7 tn Heb “So they will be to you”; NIV “That is all they can do for you.”
[47:15] 8 tn Heb “that for which you toiled, your traders from your youth.” The omen readers and star gazers are likened to merchants with whom Babylon has had an ongoing economic relationship.
[47:15] 9 tn Heb “each to his own side, they err.”
[54:6] 8 tn Heb “like a woman abandoned and grieved in spirit.”
[64:4] 9 tn Heb “from ancient times they have not heard, they have not listened.”
