| NET Notes |
1 tn The prophet is probably the speaker here. 2 tn Or “stripped.” The precise meaning of this Hebrew word is unclear. It may refer to walking barefoot (see 2 Sam 15:30) or to partially stripping oneself (see Job 12:17-19). 3 tn Heb “naked.” This probably does not refer to complete nudity, but to stripping off one’s outer garments as an outward sign of the destitution felt by the mourner. 4 tn Heb “I will make lamentation.” 5 tn Or “a jackal”; CEV “howling wolves.” 6 tn Heb “[make] a mourning.” 7 tn Or perhaps “ostrich” (cf. ASV, NAB, NASB, NRSV, NLT). |
