26:22 I will send the wild animals ⁵  against you and they will bereave you of your children, ⁶  annihilate your cattle, and diminish your population ⁷  so that your roads will become deserted.

¹ tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.

² tn Heb “and there will be no one who terrifies.” The words “to sleep” have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Heb “harmful animal,” singular, but taken here as a collective plural (so almost all English versions).

⁴ tn Heb “no sword”; the words “of war” are supplied in the translation to indicate what the metaphor of the sword represents.

⁵ tn Heb “the animal of the field.” This collective singular has been translated as a plural. The expression “animal of the field” refers to a wild (i.e., nondomesticated) animal.

⁶ tn The words “of your children” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

⁷ tn Heb “and diminish you.”
