30:19 For people will live in Zion;
in Jerusalem 1 you will weep no more. 2
When he hears your cry of despair, he will indeed show you mercy;
when he hears it, he will respond to you. 3

2 tn Heb “For people in Zion will live, in Jerusalem, you will weep no more.” The phrase “in Jerusalem” could be taken with what precedes. Some prefer to emend יֵשֵׁב (yeshev, “will live,” a Qal imperfect) to יֹשֵׁב (yoshev, a Qal active participle) and translate “For [you] people in Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more.”
3 tn Heb “he will indeed show you mercy at the sound of your crying out; when he hears, he will answer you.”
