46:6But even the swiftest cannot get away.
Even the strongest cannot escape.9
There in the north by the Euphrates River
they stumble and fall in defeat.10
Footnotes
- 9 The translation assumes that the adjectives with the article are functioning as superlatives in this context (cf. §133.g). It also assumes that אַל (’al) with the jussive is expressing here an emphatic negative rather than a negative wish (cf. §107.p and compare the usage in Ps 50:3).
- 10 Heb “they stumble and fall.” However, the verbs here are used of a fatal fall, of a violent death in battle (see 657 נָפַל Qal.2.a), and a literal translation might not be understood by some readers.
