1:12Indeed, the residents of Maroth57 hope for something good to happen,58
though the Lord has sent disaster against the city of Jerusalem.59
Footnotes
- 57 The place name Maroth sounds like the Hebrew word for “bitter.”
- 58 The translation assumes an emendation of חָלָה (khalah; from חִיל, khil, “to writhe”) to יִחֲלָה (yikhalah; from יָחַל, yakhal, “to wait”). Heb “[the residents of Maroth] writhe [= “anxiously long for”?] good.”
- 59 Heb “though disaster has come down from the Lord to the gate of Jerusalem.”
