9:5 Indeed every boot that marches and shakes the earth 1
and every garment dragged through blood
is used as fuel for the fire.
34:7 Wild oxen will be slaughtered 2 along with them,
as well as strong bulls. 3
Their land is drenched with blood,
their soil is covered with fat.
59:3 For your hands are stained with blood
and your fingers with sin;
your lips speak lies,
your tongue utters malicious words.
1 tn Heb “Indeed every boot marching with shaking.” On the meaning of סְאוֹן (sÿ’on, “boot”) and the related denominative verb, both of which occur only here, see HALOT 738 s.v. סְאוֹן.
2 tn Heb “will go down”; NAB “shall be struck down.”
3 tn Heb “and bulls along with strong ones.” Perhaps this refers to the leaders.
