Footnotes

  1. 72 Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
  2. 73 The words “Don’t you know” are not in the text. They are a way of conveying the idea that the question which reads literally “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” expects a positive answer. They follow the pattern used at the beginning of the previous two questions and continue that thought. The words are supplied in the translation for clarity.
  3. 74 Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
