For I have made my purpose known69

Footnotes
- 68 The earth and the heavens are personified here and depicted in the act of mourning and wearing black clothes because of the destruction of the land of Israel.
- 69 Heb “has spoken and purposed.” This is an example of hendiadys where two verbs are joined by “and” but one is meant to serve as a modifier of the other.
- 70 Heb “will not turn back from it.”
