Footnotes
- 43 Heb “she will not be inhabited forever, and she will not be dwelt in to generation and generation (i.e., forever).” The Lord declares that Babylon, personified as a woman, will not be inhabited. In other words, her people will be destroyed and the Chaldean empire will come to a permanent end.
- 44 Or “Arab” (, , ); cf. , “nomads.”
- 45 יַהֵל (yahel) is probably a corrupted form of יֶאֱהַל (ye’ehal). See §68.k.
- 46 The words “their flocks” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The Hebrew text does not supply the object here, but see Jer 33:12.
