Footnotes

  1. 30 Heb “[will be] on their head[s].” “Joy” may be likened here to a crown (cf. 2 Sam 1:10). The statement may also be an ironic twist on the idiom “earth/dust on the head” (cf. 2 Sam 1:2; 13:19; 15:32; Job 2:12), referring to a mourning practice.
  2. 31 Heb “overtake” (so ); “they will obtain.”
  3. 32 Heb “grief and groaning will flee.”
