Footnotes
- 13 Heb “and a throne will be established in faithfulness, and he will sit on it in reliability, in the tent of David.”
- 14 Heb “one who judges and seeks justice, and one experienced in fairness.” Many understand מְהִר (méhir) to mean “quick, prompt” (see 555 מָהִיר), but מָהִיר offers the meaning “skillful, experienced,” and translates the phrase in v. 5 “zealous for what is right.”
