Footnotes

  1. 30 The words “I will bring you” are supplied in the translation; they are understood by ellipsis (see the preceding lines).
  2. 31 The words “I will bring you” are supplied in the translation; they are understood by ellipsis (see the first two lines of the verse).
  3. 32 Or “peace” ( and many other English versions).
  4. 33 The plural indicates degree. The language is ironic; in the past Zion was ruled by oppressive tyrants, but now personified prosperity and vindication will be the only things that will “dominate” the city.
