Footnotes

  1. 4 Heb “Eyes that see.”
  2. 5 The Hebrew text as vocalized reads literally “will not gaze,” but this is contradictory to the context. The verb form should be revocalized as תְּשֹׁעֶינָה (tésho’enah) from שָׁעַע (sha’a’, “be blinded”); see Isa 6:10; 29:9.
  3. 6 Heb “ears that hear.”
  4. 7 Heb “the heart of rashness will understand knowledge”; cf. “The flighty will become wise and capable.”
