Footnotes
- 17 Heb “Let the wicked one abandon his way.” The singular is collective.
- 18 Heb “and the man of evil his thoughts.” The singular is collective.
- 19 Heb “let him return.” The singular is collective, meaning “let them.”
- 20 The imperfect with vav (ו) conjunctive after the jussive indicates purpose/result.
- 21 The appeal and promise of vv. 6–7 echoes the language of Deut 4:25–31; 30:1–10; and 1 Kgs 8:46–53, all of which anticipate the exile and speak of the prerequisites for restoration.
