Footnotes

  1. 7 The adverb גַּם (gam, “also; even”) is translated here in an adversative sense (“yet”). It highlights the contrastive correspondence between the evildoer’s behavior and God’s response.
  2. 8 Heb “will tear you down forever.”
  3. 9 This rare verb (חָתָה, khatah) occurs only here and in Prov 6:27; 25:22; Isa 30:14.
  4. 10 Heb “from [your] tent.”
