Footnotes

  1. 11 Or “justice.”
  2. 12 Or “for God, he is about to judge.” The participle may be taken as substantival (as in the translation above) or as a predicate (indicating imminent future action in this context).
  3. 13 The words “he says” are supplied in the translation for clarification. God’s charges against his people follow.
  4. 14 Heb “Israel, and I will testify against you.” The imperative “listen” is understood in the second line by ellipsis (note the preceding line).
  5. 15 Or “rebuking.”
  6. 16 Heb “and your burnt sacrifices before me continually.”
