It will become an object of horror and of hissing scorn,

a place where no one lives. ⁴ 

[7:33]  ¹ tn Heb “Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth.”

[49:17]  ² sn This verse is very similar to Jer 19:8 where the same judgment is pronounced on Jerusalem. For the meaning of some of the terms here (“hiss out their scorn” and “all the disasters that have happened to it”) see the notes on that verse.

[51:37]  ³ tn Heb “a heap of ruins, a haunt for jackals.” Compare 9:11.

[51:37]  ⁴ tn Heb “without an inhabitant.”
