[14:12]  ¹ tc The Greek version has “death.”

[9:14]  ² tn Heb “leave me alone.”

[9:14]  ³ tn Heb “from under heaven.”

[9:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “the anger and the wrath.” Although many English versions translate as two terms, this construction is a hendiadys which serves to intensify the emotion (cf. NAB, TEV “fierce anger”).

[9:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.
