Footnotes

  1. 25 The noun עָוֹן (’avon) has a three-fold range of meanings: (1) “iniquity,” so , , ; (2) “guilt,” so , ; and (3) “punishment” ( 730 עָוֹן). The oracle of 13:12–13 announces that Israel’s punishment, though momentarily withheld, will suddenly come upon her like labor pains that will kill her.
  2. 26 Heb “has been bound.” צָרַר (tsarar, “to bind”) refers elsewhere to the action of scribes binding a document into a sealed scroll of safekeeping (Isa 8:16; I צרר 1; 864 צָרַר 1). Here it figuratively depicts the record of Israel’s sins being written down and permanently bound in a sealed scroll for safekeeping (cf. , “are on record”). The guilt of Israel’s sin will be retained.
