Footnotes

  1. 40 The infinitive absolute intensifies the imperative, which serves here with the force of an immediate call to attention. In accordance with §113.n, the construction could be translated, “Keep listening” (so ESV).
  2. 41 The verb has to be supplied in this line, for the has “and my explanation in your ears.” In the verse, both “word” and “explanation” are Aramaisms (the latter appearing in Dan 5:12 for the explanation of riddles).
