Footnotes

  1. 81 Heb “will be a fugitive.” This is a collective singular. Cf. “some will escape the judgment.”
  2. 82 Heb “house” (so most English versions); , “the people of Jacob.” The word “house” also occurs four times in v. 18.
  3. 83 Heb “dispossess.” This root is repeated in the following line to emphasize poetic justice: The punishment will fit the crime.
  4. 84 The present translation follows the reading מוֹרִשֵׁיהֶם (morishehem; literally, “those dispossessing them”; cf. , , ) rather than מוֹרָשֵׁיהֶם (morashehem, “their possessions”) of the (cf. , , and , followed by , , ).
