Footnotes

  1. 6 Heb “they.” The referent must be supplied from the preceding, i.e., Jerusalem and all the towns of Judah. “They” are those who have experienced the disaster and are distinct from those being addressed and their ancestors (44:3b).
  2. 7 Heb “thus making me angry.” However, this is a good place to break the sentence to create a shorter sentence that is more in keeping with contemporary English style.
  3. 8 Heb “by going to offer sacrifice in serving/worshiping.” The second לְ (lamed) + infinitive is epexegetical of the first (cf. §36.2.3e).
  4. 9 Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 9, 10, 17, 21).
  5. 10 Compare Jer 19:4 for the same thought and see also 7:9.
