This content of what they say (or think) represents their point of view. 2 sn The expression build houses may mean “establish families” (Deut 25:9; Ruth 4:11; Prov 24:27). 3 tn Heb “she” or “it”; the feminine pronoun refers here to Jerusalem. 4 sn Jerusalem is also compared to a pot in Ezek 24:3-8. The siege of the city is pictured as heating up the pot. |
