Footnotes

  1. 58 This is an attempt to render the Hebrew particle rendered “behold” joined to the first person pronoun.
  2. 59 Heb “I will put stumbling blocks in front of these people.” In this context the stumbling blocks are the invading armies.
  3. 60 The words “and fall to their destruction” are implicit in the metaphor and are supplied in the translation for clarity.
