¹ tn Heb “I will hide my face from them.”

² tn Heb “sons” (so NAB, NASB); TEV “unfaithful people.”

³ tn Heb “their,” but the referent (enemies) is specified in the translation for the sake of clarity.

⁴ tn Verses 39-42 appear to be a quotation of the Lord and so the introductory phrase “says the Lord” is supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁵ tn Heb “deliver from” (so NRSV, NLT).
