41 Or “Here they come!” Heb “Look!” or “Behold!” Or “Announce to the surrounding nations, indeed [or yes] proclaim to Jerusalem, ‘Besiegers …’ ” The text is very elliptical here. Some of the modern English versions appear to be emending the text from הִנֵּה (hinneh, “behold”) to either הֵנָּה (hennah, “these things”; so ), or הַזֶּה (hazzeh, “this”; so ). The solution proposed here is as old as the which reads, “Behold, they have come.”
42 The words, “this message,” are not in the text but are supplied in the translation to make the introduction of the quote easier.
43 Heb “Besiegers.” For the use of this verb to refer to besieging a city compare Isa 1:8.
44 Heb “They have raised their voices against.” The verb here, a vav (ו) consecutive with an imperfect, continues the nuance of the preceding participle “are coming.”
