NET Notes

1 tn Or “For” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV).

2 tn Or “thoughts” (so many English versions).

3 tn Heb “are not.” “Like” is interpretive, but v. 9 indicates that a comparison is in view.

4 tn Heb “ways” (so many English versions).

5 tn Heb “are not.” “Like” is interpretive, but v. 9 indicates that a comparison is in view.
