¹ tn Aram “house.”

² tn Aram “by the might of my strength.”

³ tn Aram “in the mouth of the king.”

⁴ tn Aram “to you they say.”

⁵ tc The LXX and Theodotion lack the words “I was watching” here. It is possible that these words in the MT are a dittography from the first part of the verse.

⁶ tn Aram “and given over to” (so NRSV).
