| NET Notes |
1 tn The Hebrew word carries the basic idea of “bad, displeasing, injurious,” but when used of weapons has the nuance “deadly” (see Ps 144:10). 2 tn Heb “which are/were to destroy.” 3 tn The language of this verse may have been influenced by Deut 32:23. 4 tn Or “which were to destroy those whom I will send to destroy you” (cf. NASB). 5 tn Heb, “break the staff of bread.” The bread supply is compared to a staff that one uses for support. See 4:16, as well as the covenant curse in Lev 26:26. |
