3:20 But Judah will reside securely forever,
and Jerusalem will be secure 1 from one generation to the next.
3:21 I will avenge 2 their blood which I had not previously acquitted.
It is the Lord who dwells in Zion!
1 tn The phrase “will be secure” does not appear in the Hebrew, but are supplied in the translation for the sake of smoothness.
2 tc The present translation follows the reading וְנִקַּמְתִּי (vÿniqqamti, “I will avenge”) rather than וְנִקֵּתִי (vÿniqqeti, “I will acquit”) of the MT.
