¹ tn Heb “Shaddai” (probably meaning “one of the mountain”), a title that depicts God as the sovereign ruler of the world who dispenses justice. The Old Greek translation omitted the phrase “voice of the Almighty.”

² tn The only other occurrence of the Hebrew word translated “tumult” is in Jer 11:16. It indicates a noise like that of the turmoil of a military camp or the sound of an army on the march.

³ tn Heb “deal with” or “work with.”

⁴ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) draws attention to something.

⁵ tn Heb “Nebuchadrezzar” is a variant and more correct spelling of Nebuchadnezzar, as the Babylonian name Nabu-kudurri-usur has an an “r” rather than an “n.”

⁶ tn Heb “sons of Arvad.”

⁷ sn The identity of the Gammadites is uncertain.
