2:13 Return to the Lord your God,
for he is merciful and compassionate,
slow to anger and boundless in loyal love 1 – often relenting from calamitous punishment. 2
2:19 The Lord responded 3 to his people,
“Look! I am about to restore your grain 4
as well as fresh wine and olive oil.
You will be fully satisfied. 5
I will never again make you an object of mockery among the nations.
1 tn Heb “and great of loyal love.”
2 tn Heb “and he relents from calamity.”
3 tn Heb “answered and said.”
4 tn Heb “Look! I am sending grain to you.” The participle used in the Hebrew text seems to suggest imminent action.
5 tc One of the Qumran manuscripts (4QXXIIc) inserts “and you will eat” before “and you will be fully satisfied” (the reading of the MT, LXX).
