[5:22] 1 tc The repetition of “destruction” and “famine” here has prompted some scholars to delete the whole verse. Others try to emend the text. The LXX renders them as “the unrighteous and the lawless.” But there is no difficulty in having the repetition of the words as found in the MT.
[5:22] 2 tn The negated jussive is used here to express the conviction that something cannot or should not happen (GKC 322 §109.e).
