Footnotes

  1. 44 Heb “under wicked men,” or “under wickednesses.” J. C. Greenfield shows that the preposition can mean “among” as well (“Prepositions B Tachat in Jes 57:5,” 32 [1961]: 227). That would allow “among wicked men.” It could also be “instead of” or even “in return for [their wickedness]” which is what the does.
  2. 45 The text simply uses רֹאִים (ro’im): “[in the place where there are] seers,” i.e., spectators.
