NET Notes

tn The words “I will bring you” are supplied in the translation; they are understood by ellipsis (see the preceding lines).

tn The words “I will bring you” are supplied in the translation; they are understood by ellipsis (see the first two lines of the verse).

tn Or “peace” (KJV and many other English versions).

tn The plural indicates degree. The language is ironic; in the past Zion was ruled by oppressive tyrants, but now personified prosperity and vindication will be the only things that will “dominate” the city.
