5:23‘Call judgment down on61 Meroz,’ says the Lord’s angelic62 messenger;
‘Be sure63 to call judgment down on64 those who live there,
because they did not come to help in the Lord’s battle,65
to help in the Lord’s battle against the warriors.’66
Footnotes
- 61 Heb “Curse Meroz.”
- 62 The adjective “angelic” is interpretive.
- 63 Heb “Curse, cursing.” The Hebrew construction is emphatic.
- 64 Heb “[to] curse.”
- 65 Heb “to the help of the Lord” (the same Hebrew phrase occurs in the following line). Another option is to read “to aid the Lord’s cause.”
- 66 Or “along with the other warriors.”
