Footnotes

  1. 1 The expression uses the Piel participle in construct: מְנַחֲמֵי עָמָל (ménahame ’amal, “comforters of trouble”), i.e., comforters who increase trouble instead of relieving it. D. W. Thomas translates this “breathers out of trouble” (“A Note on the Hebrew Root naham,” 44 [1932/33]: 192).
