[5:29]  1 tn Heb “Should I not punish…? Should I not bring retribution…?” The rhetorical questions function as emphatic declarations.

[27:12]  2 tn Heb “I spoke to Zedekiah…according to all these words, saying.”

[27:12]  3 sn The verbs in this verse are all plural. They are addressed to Zedekiah and his royal advisers (compare 22:2).

[27:12]  4 tn Heb “put their necks in the yoke of.” See the study note on v. 2 for the figure.

[27:13]  5 tn Heb “with/by the sword.”

[27:13]  6 tn Heb “Why should you and your people die…?” The rhetorical question expects the answer made explicit in the translation, “There is no reason!”

[27:13]  7 tn Heb “…disease according to what the Lord spoke concerning the nation that…”

[28:48]  8 tn Heb “lack of everything.”

[28:48]  9 tn Heb “he” (also later in this verse). The pronoun is a collective singular referring to the enemies (cf. CEV, NLT). Many translations understand the singular pronoun to refer to the Lord (cf. NAB, NASB, NIV, NCV, NRSV, TEV).

[9:28]  10 tn Heb “in the hand of” (so KJV, ASV); NAB “to the power of.”

[14:3]  11 tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.
