Footnotes

  1. 68 The words “Then the Lord said to me” are not in the text. They are supplied in the translation for clarity, to connect this part of the narrative with vv. 15, 17 after the long intervening list of nations who were to drink the cup of God’s wrath in judgment.
  2. 69 Heb “Yahweh of armies, the God of Israel.” See the study notes on and for explanation of this extended title.
  3. 70 Heb “Tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord.…’ ” The translation is intended to eliminate one level of imbedded quotation marks to help avoid confusion.
  4. 71 The words “this cup” are not in the text but are implicit to the metaphor and the context. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.
  5. 72 Heb “Drink, and get drunk, and vomit and fall down and don’t get up.” The imperatives following drink are not parallel actions but consequent actions. For the use of the imperative plus the conjunctive “and” to indicate consequent action, even intention see §110.f and compare usage in 1 Kgs 22:12; Prov 3:3b–4a.
  6. 73 Heb “because of the sword that I will send among you.” See the notes on for explanation.
