[3:6]  1 tn Heb “it will be night for you without a vision.”

[3:6]  2 tn Heb “it will be dark for you without divination.”

[3:6]  3 tn Heb “and the day will be dark over them.”

[4:8]  4 tn Heb “Migdal-eder.” Some English versions transliterate this phrase, apparently because they view it as a place name (cf. NAB).

[4:8]  5 sn The city of David, located within Jerusalem, is addressed as Daughter Zion. As the home of the Davidic king, who was Israel’s shepherd (Ps 78:70-72), the royal citadel could be viewed metaphorically as the watchtower of the flock.

[4:8]  6 tn Heb “to you it will come, the former dominion will arrive.”
