3:14You pierce the heads of his warriors44 with a spear.45
They storm forward to scatter us;46
they shout with joy as if they were plundering the poor with no opposition.47
Footnotes
- 44 Some take “warriors” with the following line, in which case one should translate, “you pierce [his] head with a spear; his warriors storm forward to scatter us” (cf. ). The meaning of the Hebrew term פְּרָזוֹ (pérazo), translated here “his warriors,” is uncertain.
- 45 Heb “his shafts.” Some emend to “your shafts.” The translation above assumes an emendation to מַטֶּה (matteh, “shaft, spear”), the vav-yod (ו-י) sequence being a corruption of an original he (ה).
- 46 Heb “me,” but the author speaks as a representative of God’s people.
- 47 Heb “their rejoicing is like devouring the poor in secret.”
