Footnotes

  1. 1 The sentence begins with כִּי (ki), which is understood as asseverative (“certainly”) in the translation. Another option is to translate, “For the Lord will have compassion.” In this case one of the reasons for Babylon’s coming demise (13:22b) is the Lord’s desire to restore his people.
  2. 2 The words “as his special people” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
  3. 3 Or “settle” (, , , ).
  4. 4 Heb “house.”
