43:28 So I defiled your holy princes,
and handed Jacob over to destruction,
and subjected 2 Israel to humiliating abuse.”
1 tn Heb “Indeed (or perhaps “for”) destruction and what is decreed the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies, is about to accomplish in the middle of all the land.” The phrase כָלָא וְנֶחֱרָצָה (khala’ venekheratsah, “destruction and what is decreed”) is a hendiadys; the two terms express one idea, with the second qualifying the first.
2 tn The word “subjected” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
