Footnotes

  1. 40 The verb יֶאְשְׁמוּ (ye’shému, Qal imperfect 3rd person masculine plural from אָשַׁם, ’asham, “to be guilty”) means “to bear their punishment” (Ps 34:21–22; Prov 30:10; Isa 24:6; Jer 2:3; Hos 5:15; 10:2; 14:1; Zech 11:5; Ezek 6:6; 79 אָשַׁם 3). Many English versions translate this as “admit their guilt” (, ) or “acknowledge their guilt” (, ), but cf. “pay for their guilt” and “have suffered enough for their sins.”
  2. 41 Heb “seek my face” (so , , , ); “seek my presence.”
