His dominion will be from sea to sea

and from the Euphrates River16 to the ends of the earth.

Footnotes

  1. 15 The first person pronoun (“I”), which seems to shift the subject too abruptly, becomes 3rd person masculine singular (“he”) in the (הִכְרִית, hikhrit, presupposed for הִכְרַתִּי, hikhratti). However, the Lord is the subject of v. 8, which speaks of his protection of Jerusalem, so it is not surprising that he is the subject in v. 10 as well. Heb “cut off” (so , ; also later in this verse); “banish”; , “take away.”
  2. 16 Heb “the river.” The Hebrew expression typically refers to the Euphrates, so the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.
