Footnotes

  1. 20 Wisdom literature often groups things in twos and fours, or in other numerical arrangements (e.g., Amos 1:3–2:6; Job 5:19; Prov 6:16–19).
  2. 21 Assuming that the contents of vv. 7–9 are a prayer, several English versions have supplied a vocative phrase: “O Lord” (); “O God” (); others have supplied a similar phrase without the vocative “O”: , “Lord”; “God.”
