NET Notes

¹tn Heb “therefore.”

²sn The fishing implements (throw net and dragnet) represent Babylonian military might. The prophet depicts the Babylonians as arrogantly worshiping their own power (sacrifices…burns incense, see also v. 11b).

³tn Heb “for by them his portion is full [or, “fat”].”

⁴tn Heb “and his food is plentiful [or, “fat”].”
