Footnotes

  1. 26 Heb “Will not your creditors suddenly rise up?” The rhetorical question assumes the response, “Yes, they will.” The present translation brings out the rhetorical force of the question by rendering it as an affirmation. Your creditors will suddenly attack. The Babylonians are addressed directly here. They have robbed and terrorized others, but now the situation will be reversed as their creditors suddenly attack them.
  2. 27 Heb “[Will not] the ones who make you tremble awake?”
  3. 28 Heb “and you will become their plunder.”
