Footnotes

  1. 42 Heb “Siege ramps have come up to the city to capture it.”
  2. 43 Heb “sword.”
  3. 44 Heb “The Chaldeans.” See the study note on for further explanation.
  4. 45 Heb “And the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it because of the sword, starvation, and disease.” The verb “has been given” is one of those perfects that view the action as good as done (the perfect of certainty or prophetic perfect).
  5. 46 The word “Lord” is not in the text but is supplied in the translation as a reminder that it is he who is being addressed.
  6. 47 Heb “And what you said has happened and behold you see it.”
