Footnotes

  1. 19 Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
  2. 20 Heb “I know the plans that I am planning for you, oracle of the Lord, plans of well-being and not for harm to give to you.…”
  3. 21 Or “the future you hope for”; Heb “a future and a hope.” This is a good example of hendiadys where two formally coordinated nouns (adjectives, verbs) convey a single idea where one of the terms functions as a qualifier of the other. For this figure see E. W. Bullinger, Figures of Speech, . This example is discussed on p. 661.
