| NET Notes |
1 tn The words, “that have been caught” are not in the text but are implicit in the comparison. 2 tn Heb “are filled with deceit.” The translation assumes a figure of speech of cause for effect (metonymy). Compare the same word in the same figure in Zeph 1:9. 3 tn Heb “therefore they have gotten great and rich.” |
