Footnotes

  1. 3 Heb “they devise wicked [plans] in [their] mind.”
  2. 4 Heb “they attack [for] war.” Some revocalize the verb (which is a Qal imperfect from גּוּר, gur, “to attack”) as יְגָרוּ (yégaru), a Piel imperfect from גָרָה (garah, “stir up strife”). This is followed in the present translation.
