Footnotes

  1. 28 Perhaps the verb is used metonymically here in the sense of “advises” (note the following line).
  2. 29 In this context רוּחַ (ruakh) likely refers to the Lord’s “mind,” or mental faculties, rather than his personal Spirit (see 925 ).
  3. 30 Heb “or [as] the man of his counsel causes him to know?”
