[13:10]  1 tn The verbal idea is intensified with the infinitive absolute. This is the same verb used in v. 3; here it would have the sense of “rebuke, convict.”

[13:10]  2 sn The use of the word “in secret” or “secretly” suggests that what they do is a guilty action (31:27a).

[13:11]  3 sn The word translated “his majesty” or “his splendor” (שְׂאֵתוֹ, sÿeto) forms a play on the word “show partiality” (תִּשָּׂאוּן, tissaun) in the last verse. They are both from the verb נָשַׂא (nasa’, “to lift up”).

[13:11]  4 tn On this verb in the Piel, see 7:14.

[13:11]  5 tn Heb “His dread”; the suffix is a subjective genitive.
