Footnotes

  1. 10 Or “drought” ().
  2. 11 Heb “the tumult of foreigners.”
  3. 12 Heb “[like] heat in the shadow of a cloud.”
  4. 13 The translation assumes that the verb יַעֲנֶה (ya’aneh) is a Hiphil imperfect from עָנָה (’anah, “be afflicted, humiliated”). In this context with “song” as object it means to “quiet” (see II ענה). Some prefer to emend the form to the second person singular, so that it will agree with the second person verb earlier in the verse. 776 III עָנָה Qal.1 understands the form as Qal, with “song” as subject, in which case one might translate “the song of tyrants will be silent.” An emendation of the form to a Niphal (יֵעָנֶה, ye’aneh) would yield the same translation.
