NET Notes

sn Beginning with 9:1, the verse numbers through 9:26 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 9:1 ET = 8:23 HT, 9:2 ET = 9:1 HT, 9:3 ET = 9:2 HT, etc., through 9:26 ET = 9:25 HT. Beginning with 10:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.

tn Heb “I wish that my head were water.”

tn Heb “daughter of my people.” For the translation given here see 4:11 and the note on the phrase “dear people” there.
