Footnotes

  1. 7 Heb “Though they say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives.” The idea of “swear on oath” comes from the second line.
  2. 8 The translation follows many Hebrew and the version in reading “surely” (אָכֵן, ’akhen) instead of “therefore” (לָכֵן, lakhen) in the . Heb “Surely.”
  3. 9 Heb “they swear falsely.”
