Footnotes

  1. 15 The Hebrew text adds, “it will be said concerning you.”
  2. 16 Heb “eat” (, , ); “feed on”; “be fed with.”
  3. 17 The form in the Hebrew text is probably a corruption of יִתְאַמְּרוּ (yit’amméru), a Hitpael from אָמַר (’amar), meaning “boast about” (see II אמר, ימר, and 56 אָמַר).
  4. 18 Heb “their glory” (i.e., riches).
